I came to O scale from HO, actually I've been through all the scales a timer 2. Had a substantial HO layout and an early adopter of DCC, still have my "system one" now (NCE) to run my Bachmann on30. My first purchases where from Scott at 3rd rail, 2 rail O scale. At the time I couldn't find large enough DCC decoders. The local hobby had a Lionel S2 and gave me a good deal on it and I bought some fast-track just to have something to run as I had sold off my HO. That introduced me 2 scale 3 rail, I like how well the engine operated and ended up buying more three rail stuff. By the time I found good decoders with sound that were available in for 0 scale I had already sold off my two rail and had such a large investment in 3 rail that I elected to not go back.
