Scale v. Detail

[NW Modeling List]

 I've been in HO for years - since 1958. 
I have built and rebuilt many times. 
In Reston, VA the MER and National came to see my N&W layout many times. MER used to come every year.
I have had no problem with HO as my modeling scale.

There is only one true scale - S!

I thought I had the scale question for my future N&W layout determined at

N-scale.. but now after seeing some more photos of O. Winston Link, I'm

rethinking it.

I'd love some thoughts on scale vs. detail in Ho vs. N or even O-scale.

 

If I'm going to do something different, now is a good time so I avoid any more

buying in the "wrong" scale.
