Hey all, I have gotten a lot of information and opinions so far, and am ready to start moving forward pending a scale decision.
Considering O and S scale, which scale might be less expensive overall? I do not know costs of rolling stock and locomotives, although I certainly cannot afford the brand new locos I have seen - at least not if I am going to buy anything else like track to run it on!
So which am I most likely going to be able to find used, decent shape and able to refit with battery and power board and dcc board with wireless module and sound board and speakers? I think the answer is O but I am not sure. What about converting 3 rail stuff to 2 rail DC? I do not think there are any issues there (other than learning/figuring it out)
My thoughts are to buy used and refit/rebuild the locos with the electronics I want instead of buy the fancy, feature laden stuff that is currently available.
Unless I look at American Flyer for S? Any thoughts there? I posted a new thread that is somewhat the converse (looking from an S scale perspective) to this post in the S scale sub-forum.
Thx for any replies.
