Atlas O attracting some from HO

Thanks for noticing !!!!!

Actually some of us never left the third rail behind.

If I'm not mistaken, Atlas is getting close to 10 years of production, and has been a spectacular addition to the exploding O guage / O scale marketplace, with their beautiful scale cars and engines. But it may be their track system that wins converts. If you haven't seen a 3 rail double slip switch, you soon will !

As a long time Lionel purist, Atlas has caused me to refocus my purchasing, and now I only buy the more realistic scale equipment.

It still takes a lot of space to do O, and its not for everyone, but if toy looking trains were holding you back, its time to look again.

If you've been away from O scale since you were a kid playing with Lionel, and you've always enjoyed the heft of the larger scales, maybe now is time to take another look.

Atlas is offering scale 2-rail track and locomotives that run on DC or even on AC. You can run them on DCC or TMCC, which has a lot of bells and whistles.

Exciting news.
