I changed from HO to N last christmas, and I have had more fun just running the long trains, than trying to keep the engine from finding the back of itself in HO. GO For GOOD Times GO For N SCALE!! (Go-Mart ad) to everybody (especially HO'ers) LOOK IN ALL THOSE MODELRAILROADER MAGAZINES, THERE AR SOOOO MANY INCREDIBLE NSCALE LAYOUTS!!!
The plunge has done been took- I've started to buy some cars, and I got an N scale Atlas RSD4 off of eBay- it's undecorated, but that's OK with me. Now, I'm thinking about a layout design (but that's a topic for the layout design forum) With a space of 5 feet by 9 feet to operate in, I'll have more, railroad-wise, than my HO pike was. Also, thank God (and Kalmbach Publishing) for Jim Kelley's article on N scale locomotives! (is this where I jump up & shout" Halleluiah! I have SEEN THE LIGHT!!"?)

Plus lots more railroad in the same area <hr></blockquote> Yeah but there's some things that N scale doesnt have what HO's got. I strickly model HO, "Why?" do you ask, cause it's there & you can add alot of detail. Plus HO has got something N scale doesnt have, scale couplers. So as Rush quite simply said "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.", you have to be a Borg queen in order to assimilate Capt. Picard. Which means if your a HO modeler converting to N scale, it isn't all too easy, cause you have to think about where the layouts gonna go, how much material you need and estimate how much $$$$ you got in the bank to pay it off. To convert or not to convert? That is the question!
