Is there a standard size for model trains?

Since I was a child I wanted to collect model trains. Recently my gf bought me a model train for my bday. I have seen different sizes in the hobby shops and I was wondering if there is a "popular" size. I do not care for the large ones (no offense to those who do) and I do not want "tiny" trains... Is "NH" a common size?
My intention is to build one of the monumentous train "towns" you see in exhibits. I do not want to spend years collecting sizes that may difficult to keep up with.
Thank you to all of you for answerting. This has reeeeeealllly been helpful.
YES, it is worth it!!
What’s the difference between scales on model trains?

What's the difference between what's called HO scale model trains and N scale model trains? Which is easier to find? Which is more popular?
My oldest son is almost at the age where we can start doing projects and I remember playing with model trains with my grandfather. He had a HUGE setup in his house, but I can't remember any details about it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
