would you recommend the HO or N scale?

It depends on what space you have and what you want to set up. I prefer HO because it is not too small to handle by older children, my father prefers O because he is a grandpa now and can't do the tiny work-- but he has a whole attic for his train. N is smaller and would work better in a small space but it's pieces are harder to find. Your best bet is to look up different track arrangements online-- this will give you a better idea of how much train you'll get for the space you have and if it's still a toss up, then go to a train store and look at both, handle them, get a feel for what you want-- a "toy" to play with, or a coffee table accent or....

I have always preferred the HO scale. It is far less fragile and much easier to construct a realistic layout. My son when he was younger preferred the N scale but gradually changed over to the HO. HO cars and engines are easier to build with the HO scale as well.

I had ho and now n. n is better for me due to limited space for my layout. prices are about the same, but there is more product for ho.

This is a close call and hard to decide. If given the option of HO or N scale, I would prefer the smaller N scale. The miniature scaled train sets are much more compact and takes up less room to set up however it requres a higher degree of skill to work the smaller sets so for beginners and kids I would reccomend the larger scale HO scale.

i would recommend the HO and the easy fitting Snap-Fit tracks. I have track, engines and rolling stock from Triang days, right through to the present Bachmann. The current track with ballast is the best and easiest to operate with. The detail on the HO scale is much better than the N scale. Time passes and the eyes begin to change, thus the HO is better and easy to see..

This depends on how big your area of your layout is going to be. A lot of people will say "Only HO", I have both and they now make so much for N Scale that you can have a blast with it. I setup more N Scale and G Scale (Outdoor Garden Trains) then I do any HO Scale simply because of space. I have tons of scenery, buildings and props that I have a lot of fun with N. In fact, I can honesty say I prefer N because it requires so much less space to build a huge layout. Also, Bachmann, EZ Track has a lot to choose from now with many turnouts and odd pieces there is not much you can't do these days and in a pinch, you can buy flex track and modify it to work with EZ Track. Again, it depend ONLY on your own preferences and what you like. Everyone else's opinion makes no difference. Enjoy!

The scale is greatr as far as my use. I do not know what ANT+ is. Please inform me. I would like to know even if I cannot answere your question!

Yes! I love it! It can sometimes be off if you move it around so, just be consistent, you can't get a better scale for the price!

Since spec for track in question does not indicate the scale I can't provide an answer, but if a were to guess I would say that if this is "O"scale track then it would NOT be compat. with "G"scale as "G" scale is larger.

Neither. If you want scientific accuracy you should buy an expensive triple beam balance. The real question is which scale is precise. That is, which gives reproducible values. The EatSmart scale is said to be one of the most precise electronic scales you can buy. If you're looking to track your weight, precision is the important attribute.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

1/100 scale kits can be a lot easier because the parts a little biger but the reall grade 1/144 scales have fewer parts. Master grade. Or reall grade are where I'd start

4.0 is best mover because u can control its travel speed too . Not just the stopping times at ends.. 3.5 is ok too. I used both. uf u hav e choice or a few extra bucks id go 4.0.. if u have a lota $ go for that beefed up version thats the 5.0 its a beast on a double track for mutiple lights . Twice as strong as others .. but also about 500$ bucks too...

I would think it would work fine with N scale. On my HO layout I use it to test section of track that are 35' long so it should have enough power for N scale in my opinion. If you had a very large layout you might need a bigger power pack.Good luck and Merry Christmas

HO scale would look too small with Dept 56 stuff. On30 is a narrow gauge O scale which runs on HO tracks and looks perfect with Christmas villages.

From my experience, it doesn't matter how many times you move the scale. You will always get the same result. It's been an excellent scale!

I'm not familiar with the different gauges for trains, but I believe HO is larger. These tracks are for the early childhood train sets such as Thomas the Tank Engine, Brio, Melissa & Doug, etc. The only scale I've heard used for these is "Brio Scale."

Yes, I use it as a basic scale without the app. The app is just an added feature that allows you to track your progress if you wish.

Of the common scales: Z<N<HO<O<S<GS has the widest turning radius (normally). HO and N are the cheapest to buy, and are most commonly used. HO is ~2x as large as N scale.

I purchased a 100g calibration weight which I use once every month to ensure that the unit is measuring accurately. Since this is not a high end scale, I would recommend doing it.

I believe it to be larger than HO scale.i'm pretty.sure but not positive, sorry.

I mostly own 1:10 scales. 1:12 scale would still be fine but I assume this would be a bit over-sized for the 1:16.
