I grew up thinking 2 Rail O was a very popular scale. I visited a 2 rail O scale layout at the Los Angeles County Fair every year as a kid. <br /> <br />I thought my Dad and I were oddballs because we had HO at home (and this was in the 80's, mind you!) <br /> <br />As I grew older, I never saw ANY other 2 rail O scale layouts. They call "O", "The King of All Scales", right? <br /> <br />Why do they call it this? Was 2 rail O ever the king? Or was 3 rail O always the king, with simply a few Odd-ball 2 rail O guys on the fringes. Then HO came along and that's when scale modeling really heated up. Is that what really happened? <br /> <br />What's the history here folks?
