You really hit the nail on the head and summed up my thoughts and concerns as a newbie to this scale perfectly. This is why I was asking about min radius on the 2-8-0 on my other thread. While The possibilities of what MTH can bring to this scale are exciting. I have decided on a wait and see attitude while saving my money up for next years releases. In the mean time I am completely remodeling the the train room, building substructures, painting lighting etc and finalizing my track plans. Was hoping to utilize a 4' wide peninsula in the middle of room but looks like that might be to narrow. My track plan is open enough however that I can go HO, S or O scale depending on what shows up next year in the offering. Obviously I am hoping S scale will offer up enough steam equipment to go for it :) Luckily I have enough to keep me busy in the train room until then!
