Trains and Gauge?

[andyb28]

I have always wanted to build a trainset in my loft, but to take my time and do it properly. It's something I have been waiting on until I am a bit older to do and after some work gets complete on the loft, I will be ready to start.

Looking around, I can see there are different gauge sets, so far I have seen 00 and N. Which one is the one to go for?

Any tips on how to get started? Perhaps some websites or youtube accounts to look at?

Many Thanks
Andy

I will have quite a bit of space once its boarded out.

Sounds like 00 is the one for me.

I mentioned it to my wife, thinking she would laugh at me, but she thinks its really cool. She did say that I am not allowed to wear a hat and blow a whistle though.
