New from Morocco

[jimbooregon]

Hi all,
I'm a US citizen retired in Morocco. I love history and research and started to wander towards model RR's a month or so ago.  I've done a bunch of reading and have decided to go for it, but dither back and forth on N scale vs HO scale.  My space is limited maybe 4 ft on the ends with 2 or 3 ft middle...width 11 feet...dogbone.  I'm leaning toward HO because I like details and would like sound DCC, but my space....you know how it goes.
I want single person operations and maybe a way to run around.

So as you can see I'm in the start of the planning phase. I thought I'd get more sense of things looking over your shoulders on the forum.

cheers

Welcome to the Detailer. What era and railroad are you looking at? For a single person operation the space you have sounds great. I always dreamed of a basement empire but realized that it would mostly be just me operating so I shrank it down to something more manageable (and that I can finish in this lifetime!). Can't wait to see some of your work.

Welcome to the double DD.

Be interested in seeing a rough track plan as to what you have to work with for layout space.

What kind of operations are you planning.

Again welcome.
