Had a reality check and decided to pass on one of those layouts that eats your garage.
So the space I can use is the size of a door I have, 30"x70".
Thinking that either N or O would be the best to get a layout that is not too crowded.
Sound about right?
And in terms of rolling stock, I want to work in an era from the
1940's and earlier. Hopefuly there is stuff out there in that era.
Thx much for any advice you can offer.
Craig, what do you want to do, operate the layout and run trains on such a small base , yes then N or Z ( not much choice in that era ) is your scale. I f you want to build a beautiful layout with details everywhere, craftsmen structures and the building of the layout is more important then the operating possibilities , I would suggest H0 , 0 or one of the narrow gauge layouts.
