I have followed this thread with great interest! Sad to say ,nothing new here! These comments have in some form for over 40 years, and just not the 2 rail vrs 3 rail but in all the scales . I am all for promoting O Scale , in 2rail or 3 rail and I believe it can be done. It takes expertise , a lot of money, and the will to follow through with it ! There are great track products (Atlas or hand laid ) in O 2 rail , and an acceptable looking 3 rail ( although grossly over sized) There are Companies that produce beautiful engines and rolling stock, With all the electronics and special effects , with an over inflated price to go with it! There is Nothing In 2 rail starter sets ( simple DC or RC) Capable of being up graded to what ever sound or DCC control, they may want in the future! there would also need to have affordable cars Kits to go with it . And all at an affordable price! All it tacks is expertise a lot of money ( a half a Million to start ) . all with no guarantee of making a profit,
