I went from Marx to HO, first building a Varney (who?) flat car, because Marx had 21 3/16 freight cars, and HO has had an infinite number. Then l heard Marx had those 21, most of which l did not have as a kid, so set out to catch up. From there l bash Lionel-compatible, for it has more than Marx, trying to fill the canyons of omissions that HO has often in duplicates. Time constrained and frustrating, for those unwilling to accept substitutes or do without. Everything l want has been made in HO, and even in O two rail brass. Dunno where we will get converts to greatly enlarge the O market. Not going back to HO. When N first appeared, it seemed to be all diesel, so held and holds no interest.
