As an ex-00 modeller when I was younger, I am keen to get back into modelling when I get a house of my own. I still have all my OO kit back at my parents' house, but I've become aware of N-Gauge, and I like the fact it's smaller so therefore would take up less space. Is N-Gauge modelling any fundamentally different to 00? Are there any special approaches or techniques needed? My other question is how wide ranging are the N-gauge models - I'd probably want a few DMUs, an HST, 47s, 37s, perhaps a 66 or a 56, a couple of kettles plus of course scenery and infrastructure.
On my old OO gauge I have a 1-car pre-Swallow liveried HST, a 56, a Class 28, a couple of kettles (including a Princess Elizabeth), plus I believe a Pacer. I used to have pylons, platforms, bushes, footpaths and a tunnel - truly was a labour of love. Considering I was 10, it was a lot of fun to do.
