[quote user="Doughless"]As my need for reading glasses increases, I'm more likley to switch to O scale. I've seen some of the "hobby quality" highly detailed O scale stuff, and its amazing....[/quote] I ventured into O scale (On30 to be precise) for the same reason and had to find out, that the larger the scale is, the greater the need for detail is. Don´t you believe that this detail is any bigger than in any smaller scale. Things you can omit in N scale can be represented by a single small piece in HO scale, but need to be composed of several even smaller parts in O scale. In G scale, you even have to think about using actual scale nuts and bolts instead of castings! Adding to that, don´t forget that most of the detail is visible in photographs alone, not when you look at your layout from a normal viewing distance.
