I live in a small apartment (a total of 4 rooms including the bathroom). I have always wanted a model railroad but have never had anywhere to put it. I have finally decided that with moving a few things out into storage that I don't need or use that I will have the space to finally do so.
If I use the area I am intending I will have roughly two options, a 3'x7' table or a 4'x6' table. I was wondering what the best scale would be to use and actually make something that will look nice. I was thinking HO Scale would be the largest, would it be better to move down to N Scale? I would really like it to be more then one track if at all possible.
I also need to keep the project affordable. I am a single guy living on my own with a modest income, I don't have a lot of money to throw into my hobbies. Most of the buildings and scenery I will scratch build myself. I build a lot of models and other projects so I don't think I will have much difficulty there.
I guess the first thing is I need help selecting the best scale for my space and likes. Then I need help coming up with a plan to start working on actually being able to piece this together. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
