I have H-O scale, and it’s fun.[^],I don’t have a layout yet,though:(
I’m an N scaler. I used to be HO, but converted to N scale about two years ago because you can do more in the same amount of space.
HO is the way to go! As you can see, you can get much more detail into HO than N but N scale is great for absolutely massive layouts. With HO you can get some huge layouts yourself but, being bigger than N you can’t have the largest layout in the world with it. I like HO because it not to small and its not to big and the detail now a days have gotten to be quite the show with it. Its classified as the best buying scale in the United States and more people own HO than any other scale.

Ho is great even though so many poeple do It . It is a wonderful meadium between the huge scale trains of O and G scale but they arn’t tiney like the flea scales like N scale
HO is mine.
I now have a small back and forth HO layout. In the past I have had 027,S,HO,TT,and N gauge.

I’m not going to put down anybody like the others but I like N. The only reason why I like N is because for the size of my house it fits just right. I used to be HO but had to swap because my parents would not allow the amount of space HO would take up. So my (2) favourite scales are N scale and HO scale.
You didn’t even list my favorite scale. 1 1/2" scale 7 1/2" gauge. I model alot of G scale also. Inside modeling is in On30.
Most of my stuff is N scale standard gauge but I also have Nn3, O (standard gauge), On30 and G and HO.
ALOT of my money is going to G scale right now, but O scale Lionels will always be my first love.
I am a proud HO scaler
I don’t really care for any of the guages I have to use a magnifying glass to see the high details . [X-)]
HO.
Right now I am a rubber gauger. I am doing N scale as a home layout eventually. Right now I am gathering Rolling Stock and then I will get a layout started as I get some space. And then I also belong to a model railroad club that is HO.
I have run through the alphabet. As a child I had American Flyer S guage trains. Then as a teenager I switched to N-scale because we didn’t have the space in our family home for a layout much larger than 4 X 8, and N seemed to offer more possibilities than HO within those limitations. Over the years I have built 5 or 6 different layouts in N, as I moved from place to place. I still have an operating N scale layout today.
Additionally, for about 10 years I also dabbled in G. Mainly under the tree at Christmas, while the rest of the year the engines and cars sat on display shelves in the rec room. Last year I decided to get rid of all my large scale equipment. I finally came to realize that conditions in eastern Iowa aren’t really favorable for building an outdoor railroad. Right now I have 2 sets of Bachman On30; one passenger, one freight, that run around the Christmas tree. I am thinking of building a shelf layout in On30, just to have a place to run the equipment during the rest of the year.
Mostly G with some 0n30 and a nice 1" scale live steamer on the entertainment center.
1:80 scale, which is rather closer to OO than to HO. As far as I know, it is used almost exclusively to model Japanese prototype, which makes it very common in Japan and very uncommon elsewhere.

G, O Scale Trolley under Catenary, S, HO, N.
G, O and HO have operating layouts at this time between my Father’s house and mine.
S is boxed and N-scale is loco/rolling stock residue from a former layout when I was active Duty Army.
My main interest is HO scale. However, I have some N scale stuff, along with a G scale set under the Christmas tree.
