Hi Jace, Actually it's too bad he didn't keep it cause I bet he comes
crawling back one of these days.Once you've had S you can't regress :>)
I bought a few S pieces years ago then I thought the selection and price per
pound were just not up to the O level I was used to so I sold them and built a
few more O models then sat and looked at those big honkin trains and thought do
I really want to dedicate that much real estate to something so frivolous? Even
though the scale difference is just 1:64 versus 1:48 the real difference is
squared due to modeling area and not just length so some quick calculations
made me realize the more "expensive" S trains were a bargain when the real
estate costs were factored in. Plus I really like the size for handling,
viewing, and operating.
So I had to go and re-buy the S stuff I originally had for more than I sold it
for and I also have even more O stuff to turn over than I had when I first
tried S and to make it even more pleasant the O re-sale market sucks right now
while S is ticking right along........dave
