G— SCALE I LIKE THE BIG STUFF IT’S EASY FOR ME TO HANDLE, I HAVE AN OUT SIDE LAY OUT, WITH A POND AND A NEW COVERED BRIDGE AND A WATER WHEEL AND BUILDINGS. BEN
Hey where is S scale??? That’s my favorite, big enough to work with, small enough to have a good layout in my 11x18 foot room. (PS you also left out Z scale).
Enjoy

O, as in Lionel near scale. I still have my original Santa Fe f-3 set I received for Christmas in 1949 or 1950. Since added to substantially, most before 1957 with the remainder since 1999.
As it says in my profile, “Lionel Tinplating Forever!”.
BTW, I see you got your movement command working, Mark.
N for the house, and G for the Yard.
I appreciate all of the above, but I personally model in N scale. I starteted in HO and quickly switched to N for space reasons. Once I stared in N I’ll never go back. You can do so much more with the space in N scale.

N-scale has got to be the most versatile, at least for my young eyes. Plus you can do so much with so little room. I also love G-scale/LGB and have a collection of that too. Z-scale seems neat and I’m thinking about getting involved there too! [{(-_-)}]

I would have to say HO.
I’m going to have to say my favorit is HO. I’ve worked with HO for five glorious years. I just have to say. . . it’s great you can do so much w// HO, I’ve found it much easier to model after certain railraods like some sortlines in my area w/ HO rather than useing G scale or something. I mainly model after CSX and Conrail though. I do have trouble w/ the wireing on HO though 
My favorite is HO. There’s a lot of variety and its not too big, not too small. Just perfect I guess. However, my dream layout will be in N.
HO is better for realistic rolling stock. N and Z are better for depth of scenery. Also, I have less difficulty climbing in the cab of HO scale locomotives.
I use HO. At the risk of jumping on a bandwagon, it does have the greatest selection, and the prices seem to be the best in proportion to size. It also seems to just look right.
The amount of layout that N-scalers can pack into a room sure makes me envious, but the sheer smallness of parts and track would probably be too much for my fingers and eyes.
I’ve seen some really great O-scale layouts but it wouldn’t be possible to build a credible layout with my space available and budget.
G-scale looks like a lot of fun, but cost would be a problem, plus some of the equipment looks a bit toylike for my tastes.
S-scale is supposed to be a good compromise between scales, but there doesn’t seem to be stores in the area that sell much of it and I’ve never been big on mail-order or Internet shopping.

My favorite scale is 12’'=1 foot scale[;)]!
N or G
N - Great to collect (inexpensive), fantastically large amount of railroad in a small space
G - Large and immpressive, live steam, can leave track outside, realistic
[swg]
O scale is my favorite. I like the size because it is big enough that the engines look realistic and you can still fit a small layout in a 4x8 space.
HO is my only Scale.
Allan.
1:1 2’ gauge. My favorite because I get to drive.
And then there’s 1.5" scale, 7 1/2" gauge.
And if I want to play with little tiny trains. There’s always G scale.
My favourite scale is N scale because it takes up so little space.
