My name is Anthony and I am new to the O scale world. I have been modeling for most of my life, started in N and have been in HO since 1995. I love detailing engines and cars. Now that I am getting a little older I am wanting to try my hand in O scale.
I have been doing alot of research and 2 Rail Proto 48 is the route I am thinking of taking. What's killing me is that the available models are pretty nice but lack scale details to what I consider todays standards in the hobby. Not alot available so I can set that everyone does the best they can with what they got. Impressive to say the least, many talented modelers in O scale. Brass is as close to the teak thing that I can see so far in O, but your pocket book has to be deep for that.
So I have a question for everyone here. Is there really a market in O scale for prototypical correct scale models? Either available fully detailed and ready to run or add a base model where you add your own details, or both?
I asked Shane at ScaleTrains.com if they had ever considered O and her said yes they have talked about it. I would like to bring him more feed back about this subject to see if there might be a possibility of actually doing this.
Thank you everyone for your time, Anthony
