Reply to "2 rail sales numbers down"

For me, the gigantic track used in three rail (and for two rail with the center rail simply removed) is the biggest drawback.  Two rail track simply looks better regardless of the control system used.  The catch is that you have to have large radius curves and much better trackwork in general.  I understand the appeal of three rail track and operation, but I think O scale will still need scale or semi-scale wheelsets to appeal to 2 rail modelers.
