Many people get started with HO scale, but what you choose is over to you. If space is an issue, then N scale trains might be a better option than HO scale trains. N scale takes up less room than HO scale. As a comparison, you can fit as much detail into an N scale model train layout using a door as your platform, as you can on a 4 by 8 sheet of plywood with HO scale.
