Hello Everyone
I am new here, having just registered and am hoping for some advice please.
I want to build a layout and have a space available of 9.5ft by 7.5ft in my shed (10ft by 8ft but had it lined and insulated). I like both OO and N gauge and have collected a few locos and sets in both gauges. My dilemma is that I cannot decide between OO and N for the layout and would like some advice. I have a track plan for both scales (or gauges) and would like to ultimately go for DCC operation. I like the N option as it gives the ability to run reasonably long trains, but I prefer the detail of OO locos. I am mainly interested in GWR Steam but I also like some of the diesels that are being made.
I don't want to mix the two different scales (as has been suggested) as I am really looking to rule one out of the equation - so which one do I go for?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
