S Scale should be your only model railroading focus. All of the scales are
nice, a lot nicer than hanging out at bars, or many other places. Even boats, a
hole in the water that you pour money into! But when it comes to models of
trains then it should be S scale. You realize of course that O scale takes 3
times the space as S scale. It also needs 3 times the fidelity to look right.
Those "O" scale rivets are so large they stick out like a sore thumb and are
very easy to count!
"O" scale is okay if you live in Minnesota, on a farm, and have a
barn. But then you only get 10 days of summer. The entire year is summer for me
and I live in a cave! Get rid of all that Lionel 3 rail junk! Go head first
into S, buy my UP brass caboose, The asking price is so low compared to the
original price of $235. You also need to order 10 of the SAL cars. Several
other S Scalers will love you forever if you do that, including me!
