If I wanted to model what I see of railroading every day on NS it would be 2 or 3 big GE's pulling 80-100 car trains. If you have space to model trains like that in O scale that's great. In the past I have thought about other scales, but determined that S is the best scale for me, with no regrets. The problem I hear from a lot of people who switch (especially from HO to O) is that the buildings get so big. A 3' gauge 2-8-0 pulling a dozen cars if fine for me, even if I choose to model an era before I was born. Dave Heine Easton, PA To REPLY to the list, use REPLY ALL; to reply to the sender, use REPLY.
