edito, ergo BOOM.
Hey folks:
I have this shelf, and potential top-of-bureau space in my room. All told it is about six feet long, and 2-3 feet wide. (The shelf is 3 foot wide, the top of bureau 2 foot - although I may hang a shelf to elongate that 2)
This space has been screaming for a model RR for awhile. I have dabbled in some HO in years past..mostly junk, and never estabished a completed "layout". Now with a couple weeks off coming up, I think it may be time to do something about it. But I'm at a stumbling block.
I was originally thinking of building a small HO switching layout - since I have a P2K GP9 and a couple buildings. But then again, I have been looking towards N more and more, and having no experience with it at all, I was wondering if you can easily do switching with N?
Right now, I seem to be leaning towards an HO layout, and trying to see if I can add a few more feet to that six. I'll post a diagram of what I have later... but was wondering if anyone has any insights on how they decided between a small N or HO layout? (Or how you would decide if given the chance) Sorry if this sounds I'm rambling...but typing these things out seems to help me decide.
Thanks,
Tom.
