Kato - N Scale - Layout - Pros and Cons for an HO Scale Guy - Model Railroader Magazine

I would like to hear from anyone who converted from HO scale to N scale, pro or con. 

The majority of folks I know who are modeling in N scale now modeled HO previously (as I did). N scale wasn't practical when I started, but I moved to it in the late 1980s as better products appeared.

Posting your question on a forum with a higher percentage of N scale participants, such as The Railwire or Trainboard, might provide a more meaningful response. N scale comments here tend to be of the "damning with faint praise" variety.

For me, N scale is the choice because of limited space -- and today's N scale runs great.
