Reply to "S GAUGE V. O GAUGE"

I bought the American Models GG1 when they first came out, sometime in the 80s and with a little lubrication, it's been running great ever since.  A full length O scale GG1 is LONG.  The S version is proportioned perfectly, and will negotiate Gilbert's tight radius track nicely.   Of course, i just HAD to add directional lights, illuminated classification lights and the capability to run on AC or DC.  But right out of the box, it's a winner.  According the AM website, the only version not available is the 5-stripe green livery.
