you seem to know alot about trains. do you reccomend the Z scale trains?

ive been looking onto them for a while, they are the least space-requiring train scale, usually the cheapest track too.

problem is, i have a BAAD feeling they are a PITA (Pain in the A__) to put on the track if they fall off, and im also afraid of not being able to find accecories.

so should i stick with HO or go out and buy some Z scale's?

Z scale is pretty common, no problems with accesorys. if you build the track well, they wont ever come off anyway.

A lot of eople use z scale because they can fit much more action into a smallr space... I like HO, the trains are big enough to be able to see properly, its easier to appriciate the layout when its that size
