Which gauge would be best for starting up a layout for model railroading?
Space is not an issue. I'm hoping for one with the greatest variety of trains, cars, and accesories. And can tracks and trains(motors) from different manufactures be used together?
Your best bet is HO gauge, 1/87 scale, for model railroading. It has the most variety, choices, and is just the right size. N is also good, but has somewhat less variety and is considerably smaller, hence less detail.
Track is compatible as long as its the same code. eg. 83 with other code 83 or 100 with other code 100.. Locomotives can be easily compatible if you use DCC...on DC some may run the same speed, and some may not.
I'd stay away from Lionel if you want to pursue the modeling aspect of the hobby.
