One reason I like O gauge is there are so many options. I put in an 027 loop and run my older Lionels on it, my My Marx plus my hybrids. I had several On3 cars and put Lionel trucks and couplers on them plus the newer Marx plastic cars look OK behind an older Lionel engine. You look at AF, Marx and On3 cars and they are comparable in size. Look at a real mixed freight on the rails and the cars are different sizes. I have several "transition" tenders, cars and couplers that I use. A Lionel hook coupler will fit in a slot on a Marx scissor coupler. Lots of options.
