I am limited to a max of about 2x9 for a layout. I currently have an HO layout this size, continuous loop with a decent sized yard, and running about an 11" radius that only 50' rolling stock and Lifelike F7's will negotiate just fine.
My question is...Should I keep going with this plan...or move down to N scale? I already have about 65% of the HO layout completed...but now I'm realizing that I might want to downsize for more "running room".
I chose HO scale because of what I had on hand already (rolling stock,motive power) and the great availability of HO stuff.
What should I do...keep plugging along in HO scale or jump ship and go to N? Remember I'm in an apartment, so 2x9 is the limit. I'm also a fan of continuous running layouts, I just like to watch the trains run.
I really don't want to spend any more money without getting this dilemma figured out.
Thanks for the advice,
