Andre, you work for a railroad, don’t you? Isn’t standard gauge 4ft 8-1/2in? If
so, O gauge (at 5ft) is merely 3-1/2 scale inches too wide.
No wonder we've been derailing lately.
Ah well... brain farts happen. (I thought O gauge rail was wider than that.)

I do agree that O scale just doesn't look “right”.
