I think HO is a wonderful scale for narrow gauge fine scale modeling... big enough to run well and have good detail and small enough (barely) to do justice to the general effect scenery modeling to allow an indication of the massive mountains associated with the mining & logging areas typical of narrow gauge operations and the short trains involved.

But N rules for standard gauge general effect modeling.

The Mississippi River Bridge section is probably the easiest to transfer to a new layout.  I have no idea how much to ask for it.  I have thought about keeping it and displaying it in the new train room for nostalgia purposes.  The rest of the sections will be scavenged for turnouts, switch motors, electronics, etc.  I think I would get much more for these items than I would for the sections.

Funny, I've always been anti HOer's and now I am joining the dark side.  On the other hand, I think over 50 years in N scale is enough.  A new scale will keep the interest level high.  I do plan to do both modern and transition era.  So should be fun.

I like the idea of saving it as display. But, if you change your mind, I would love to make you an offer.  Good luck with the move back north. From someone who grew up in Wisconsin, and now lives in ATL, I will probably be in your situation a few years from now.

You've done excellent work in N Scale and I am sorry to see you jump scales. I will continue to watch to see how you make out with your HO project.
