I just bought a n scale train off eBay. I was wondering if you can run n scale trains with a HO power pack?

It'll be fine.

Should work just fine. In fact, I've used one power pack on N scale, H0 scale, and even G scale, and it works just fine.

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

When a model train company makes both HO and N train sets, they both use the exact same power pack, in most cases. Life-Like's HO and N-scale sets all came with the same familiar blue power pack...
