My posts are indeed hogwash. Mostly they are opinion, and here I simply find the concept of interest.
My problem with O Scale is the inaccurate track gauge. I have implemented cures for that. If I were in 3-rail, I personally would have a serious problem with the track appearance, and a mild problem with those flanges. If I were in 3- rail, I would simply convert to 2- rail.
I can assume that most here are in 3- rail because they like the looks of 3- rail track. There are no rational reasons for them to consider 2-rail or battery power or any combination. Three rail works fine for such folks.
Battery power may always remain a curiosity. For those above maintaining that it is useless, you may in about five years start a thread called "told you so" and name me specifically. The problem is, I won't care, since opinions are non- binding.
This is a little like religion, except that I really don't care who holds the same opinions that I do. Choose to believe that batteries will never work in model trains. I applaud your choice, but disagree.
