-N gauge and 1:150 scale models are the most popular scale in Japan, but this scale has too little details in my opinion. So I would choose H0 gauge and 1:87 scale (or 1:80 in case of Japan), that are much less popular, due to available space restriction.+N gauge and 1:150 scale models are the most popular scale in Japan, but this scale has too little details in my opinion.

-Since japanese railways are using 1067 mm track gauge, which scales down to 12 mm or H0m gauge, other H0 sized rolling stock should not meet japanese on the same track and therefore it should be OK to use H0j scaled trains. Coincidently H0m track size is the same as TT gauge: 12 mm. This makes the things easier, because H0m track is not widely available on the market, but TT is.+Since japanese railways are using 1067 mm track gauge, which scales down to 12 mm or H0m gauge, other H0 sized rolling stock should not meet japanese on the same track and therefore it should be OK to use H0 scaled trains.

 But prototype line operates 200 series trains, which I will try to replicate from scratch later. But prototype line operates 200 series trains, which I will try to replicate from scratch later.
