i understand excited, most of us have been there once or twice. go fishing, take a trip and do some railfanning, read every thing about railroading you can lay your hands on, the excitement remains but is tempered with understanding of what you have decided you want and how you want to get there. i have been in ho for over 30 years. now with my eyes not as good as they once were, i am more pleased than ever with my choice. also, ho has far and away the most high quality items available; scenery, structures, locomotives, rolling stock and every detail you could ever need. i m modeling in an area 12' x 24' so the need for something smaller than ho is not relevant. i have recently begun tampering in proto O, 1:48. who knows? sell the house? get a small house with a large outbuilding on it and go O all the way? the thought has certainly crossed my mind. oh yes, when you are ready to take the plunge, purchase the very best equipment you can afford. maybe even wait to make a purchase so you can get the absolute best. it will keep you from the frustration of needing several hours maintenance for every hour of operation, and the hobby will remain exciting and satisfying.
