... Wow, the price of O gauge track compared to HO is remarkable! ...

Indeed it is! I use Atlas track. When I visit my LHS, I almost cry when I look at my O gauge switches and then go look at the Atlas HO switches. It's like 4 or 5 HO switches for the same price as one O switch! Not to mention the straights, curves and other items... OUCH on all counts!!!

On the brighter side, I really like that Atlas O track and am still happy I am using it. I also get the same feeling comparing the O gauge track to HO track as I get when comparing an O gauge engine to an HO engine. The O items are just much more like 'tracks and trains' to me. I even like the 3rd rail! That is also all I have ever had. However, I do admit there are definitely some advantages to HO as well.
