TrainPop posted:I think that it's great that you want to set up a small O gauge layout. But, as you are finding out, the responses you get are colored by personal preference. I would like to suggest that, if it's feasible, you set up a small display board with a sample of all the different types and styles of track (i.e., Lionel Fastrack, MTH's Realtrax, and the different brands of tubular track). Perhaps you could get some information from your LHS about the different brands and types post it on the sample board.
I really like this idea. It would be some extra work but well worth the effort to showcase what newbies might not otherwise see for some time.
