History of MRR'ing question: I don't get it: Was 2 Rail O EVER very popular?

It's true, the physical size of our bodies and the homes we occupy have a lot to do with the scale choice. If small was best, or large was best, we'd all be running only Z scale or 7-1/2 gauge or whatever those ride-on trains are. <br /> <br />I always grew up thinking HO was a relatively new scale, and that O 2 rail was pretty common. Having been alive for a few more years now, it seems 2 rail O is somewhat rare (I get excited every time I see some in MR, but it's not that often). <br /> <br />One of my favorite layouts I've seen in MR was an O scale traction layout - Les Lewis' layout in October 1997. Wow, that was cool. <br /> <br />Another fine O scale traction layout is Michael Tylick's layout in April 1997. <br /> <br />The most recent GMR has an awesome 2 rail O scale layout - John Peterson's layout. <br /> <br />I think my favorite yet is a modular O scale layout from July 2005 - that layout was killer. <br /> <br />There's something unmistakably cool about the larger scales. <br /> <br />Just getting back into the hobby, there's a little O-scale switching layout devil on my shoulder, and I'm trying to fend him off the best I can...
