I need bigger trains

[GoodoleBob]

Getting old has many ups and downs to it. For my hobby it has come to mean increasing problems with dexterity in rerailing cars, and with that delicate touch in handling detailed models, with even seeing those details. The joy of over 36 years of HO is starting to become a liabilty now.

I want......lets make that need something bigger to help hold off my failing capabilites. I looked at that G-scale project Tony Koester did over this past summer and it has a lot of appeal. Although that stainless steel track was pricey I though. That sort of project or one done in O scale would suit me. I like the quality of detail O scale has over the G trains I've seen. I don't particularly want to handlay any track anymore either. The code 148 is okay but much better yet the code 125 is what I like to looks of. I seem limited to a very few code 148 turnouts from Atlas (#5's) and the rest is just components used for handlaying.

So can someone much more familiar with O scale tell me what I can do track wise to keep it easy, and with some amount of flexibility too while using code 125. I'd appreciate it.
