This was definitely an O gauge layout. I clearly remember them demonstrating the new Lionel "transfer table" which while really interesting was way too large for my older siblings' home layout. I don't remember any HO in the late 50's and early 60's (though I could have missed it). I do think they stayed with demonstrating traditional O gauge accessories and not the crummy rocket launcher and exploding box car type stuff which were however shown on commercials that aired during the show.
