Reply to "2-Rail Home Layouts - How Many Really Exist?"

Thanks again to all that have replied.

After reading some of the earlier replies I tried to find information on the percentage of modellers in a particular scale.  When I subscribed to Model Railroader back in the 1990's they would do surveys' to try to get a handle on the number of people in the hobby.  They would publish the results.  Anyhow trying to find up to date information, had no luck.  As I recall at that time it was about 58% HO, 27% N,  and the remaining 15% O, G, S, Z, TT and whatever else (in decreasing order).  This of course was ONLY 2R.  3R was not considered in those figures.  Kalbach separated those out as Toy Trains.  Yes, now I know about 3R Scale items, but at that point being deep in HO, didn't have a clue!  What I don't remember is the club vs private layout data collected.  That was a asked on the survey, and both was an option.

From these responses there are still 2R personnel layouts out there, if you know where to find them!
