Hello Marc,
I just have to say that you're dead right! I've been hovering over the attractions of 0 scale for some time now, having been 'into' N for years and not getting anywhere.
I think I would still like to build a tailchaser in N but have a shunting layout in 0 as well.
The best of both worlds, perhaps?
What is the provenance of your 08, please? It's lovely!
Harold.
