Brooks,
In terms of comparing S to O as a whole I think S is ever so slightly better off because we don't have the 3 rail legacy to contend with, but we both have lots of old school toy train "baggage" very much in common. In my mind HO got the jump over all because there were some early investors that made INEXPENSIVE easier to assemble plastic kits. The 1/64 diecast vehicle popularity is good for us but is purely coincidental in my opinion and not associated with S trains. My Pop said he did not like the 3 rail stuff from before I was born and started with the American Flyer. I guess that mattered to some even not overly knowledgeable about trains.
