Reply to "The realities of "O""

You also will (believe it or not) spend less money in total on the stuff in between the trackage, because in sheer numbers, you need 1/4 of the items to fill the same space. Think about it. Our available space defines the size of our layouts regardless of the scale. "O" buildings etc. might be twice the price - but needing 1/4 as many, you might only spend 1/2 as much!! (My wife says "a fortune".)

As a bonus, in "O" you WILL get:

- better running- O gauge trains are WAY less "fiddly", and that is a benefit over smaller scales.

- access to what is really a second hobby- chasing old, but still good trains on e-Bay and at train shows. Lionel engines from the late '40's can and do often run as well as when new. (This is "collecting"!)

- easier to work on trains.

- (I think) more durable trains.
