@gunrunnerjohn posted:With a little creativity, you can actually do a decent sized O-gauge layout for very little money. You just have to temper your expectations. Used tubular track is readily available, and 022 switches are a dime a dozen. Not everyone has to spend thousands for a layout, you can extract a lot of enjoyment out of a few hundred dollars.
It's a matter of personal preference, I know. Fastrack would be the minimum. No tubular for me. I'd prefer Atlas O for realism. I have enough room for one table size (6x10 maybe) and then the big room will eventually happen, I'll know by then if I can afford to do a large layout in O. Until then, I can concentrate on the table size and keep operating instead of perpetual planning.
