N scale advice needed!

[Jake]

Hey all. I have been thinking about this for a while now, since my space is a bit small (9'3"x16'9") for what I would like to model (something similar to Cajon, Donner or Tehachapi Pass--Though in the Lush Pacific Northwest Rockies instead of the barren So Cal Sierra Nevada mountains) I have decided I'm going to switch to N-Scale for now (Or, heck, I may get attached to the scale and use it forever!) so I can get what I want into the space I have. But, since I am normally an HO scaler, I'm not very well versed in N scale standards (Not NMRA per say, just regular Do's n' Dont's) I do know a few things, like not to use (C)Rapidos, try to keep my curves above 16" radius (Though 19"+ is the best, which I can certainly do!) ect. But I would like you guys to just point a new N scaler in the right direction! But what I am thinking of doing, is something modern (So I can run Double Stacks, Auto Racks, Bethgon Unit trains, use GEVOs and SD70MAC's, ect) and have SP#4449 on like excursion service (Gotta have an excuse for the Kato GS-4!) and possibly even a UP Challenger. But anyway, have any tips for me?
