KEN-OSCALE has built dozens, if not hundreds, of eco-friendly layouts. They're all stored on his computer's hard drive. You just can't get more eco-friendly than that.
For everything else, an eco-friendly O scale train layout is just an environmentalist's "day"-dream fantasy. When I look at my layouts (yes, I have more than one), I don't see a single thing on them that isn't burnable, buryable, or recyclable. And that's without each and every manufacturer having claimed that their product was eco-friendly at the time I purchased the stuff.
My honest OPINION only, everyone else's may vary.
