Hi all - I'm returning to the hobby after a too-long absence, and I have a few questions.
O scale is around 1/48. Would die-cast vehicles of 1/43 be OK to use on a layout? (Sometimes the vehicle you want to use just isn't available in exact O scale.)
Any advice for making my own decals? Can I use decal paper in my home printer, and lightly clear coat it? I also heard of this paper called Lazertran, which supposedly does not need a clear coat.
What are my options for mass-transit? (I live in New York City, and we don't see too many freight trains around here.) MTH offers several subway sets, but they're a bit pricey for me right now - a three-car set lists around $500.
Thanks!
Larry
