Also with a 4’table style if you have room you can reach in from both sides.

If they are between the ages of 8 to 10 or older you (MAYBE) safe with the N scale. A 3′ x 6′ layout in N scale can be real nice with a lot of activity on it. If you decide on HO you will be limited a little but will be able to do some things unless you go to at least a (4′) x 6′ layout. Do yourself a favor and go to Atlas.com and check out there layouts in both scales you might be surprised at what you will be able to do in both scales. Be careful though this can become an obsession and before long you will have a huge layout no matter what scale you decide to model in. Tony P
