curious how you derive that Rob? From my experience about 70% of 2 railers look for accuracy in their modeling.
Just my opinion but I don't see the same interest in "prototype fidelity" in O as I do in other scales. . This scale seems to be stuck in the blue box Athearn era where others have moved into the Kato and BLI postmodern scale model world.
I always think of O scale RS3 models. Not a single one done in the past 25 years has the handrails mounted properly to the walkway and not to the frame/side sill. This isn't a trivial detail, it's one of the trademarks of the breed.
It's all in good fun since no other scale offers the fun and play value of O scale.
And of course Sunset/3rd rail is working hard to give us those state of the art models. Ne'er a better time to be here even if an SD40-2 shows little current interest.
