Hi Again Butch!

What size room do you have to work with?

As for HO...

Wow... just last night I took out some of my remaining HO to photo and use to illustrate for a guy on another forum: It's TINY. I can't believe I putzed and piddled with such tiny trains. SOOO glad I discovered S scale.

As for yard track spacing:

Consider getting some flex track sticks, and mock-up your proposed track spacing and see how it works for you. I settled on 3" using a very scientific method: Typical HO yard track spacing is 2", typical O scale yard track spacing is 4"... seein' as S scale is almost in the middle... then 3" it was! Yup... very scientific.

In retrospect, I wish I would have used the flex stick idea above. Might have gotten away with 2.75" or so, and maybe even gained a track?
