Reply to "Two-Rail - Three-Rail"

What started you modelling O?  For a lot of Americans it was what did Dad, Uncle have or what could you buy down the store?  For me, living in England, it was what looks almost as good as the real thing?  Totally different.

Before I focussed on the D&H after my first Nth American vacation in 1974, I had bought a second-hand US Hobbies UP 2-8-0 which comfortably went round 30" radius curves.  Nobody has ever made a D&H 4-8-4 so I've never been disappointed.  The US Hobbies D&H SD45 I painted does it just fine.

Running trains round and round is what I do at my local club - testing the new builds, the DCC, the 3-rail conversions, coupler height, etc.  Back home is all about industries, car cards and switching.  Sounds and slow-speed control and a track plan that gets you a 45 minute session does it for me.

For all of us, model railroads is IT.  Teaches us so many skills over time.
