So....It's been a bit since a post, especially a meaningful one (at least to me). I have tons of N-scale structure's (built & still in the box), rolling stock, track & switches, etc. N-scale. I have not really seriously worked on the railroad for over 1 year. I like what I see in HO scale, especially structures, and the fact that the locomotives now come standard with sound. I have a Soundtrax sound system that works with Soundtrax decoders, but I've never installed it. I think trying to get speakers into an N-scale loco is a project I don't want to tackle. With the Soundtrax system there is no need for individual speakers but the layout needs to be divided into "sound sections". One of the things I love about DCC is not having to divide the layout into power districts, so I'm not a fan of dividing things into "Sound districts". I'm not that electrically smart, I love structure building, and creating a believable environment. I just don't want to have to dink around a lot with finicky engine stuff.
So the $1m. question, switch to HO or stay w/ N???
