I do have a friend who does build some modles of British railroad stuff. Again it is interesting but not interesting enough for me to buy any.
Not to mention that the European O-Scale stuff is NOT 1/48 scale, but 1/43 scale. Put a nice French steam locomotive model next to a U.S. steam locomotive model, and the European model will be, and look, much bigger.
