Operating or Running???

JoecelebOGR Forum Member

I am stuck right now in making a decision on weather to "RUN" my trains or "OPERATE" them.

In short I joined and HO club (which I never was into HO) but I saw how they operate trains....pick up and drop off loads at different locations...like the trains had a purpose....it was really a lot of fun...

So I came home and googled "Operating O Scale Trains" and nothing came up where I could find someone or some layouts that showed anyone really "OPERATING" in O scale layout...

Is O scale to large to really create an operating layout???....I find this hard to believe based on the size of some of these great O scale layouts I see here....

Just for fun I modified my own "work in progress" layout and created a few sidings on my 6X8 layout...and I was able to come up with a few "puzzles" that made this small layout a bit more enjoyable to run ( or should I say operate)...

How many of you O scale/gauge fans are operating? How many are running?? How many just don't care??
