Kev, From The North Bluff Above Marseilles IL.
Played with some HO scale for a few years but with advanced arthritis in all my fingers, changing to O. A long term project will be a small O2 set for an overhead train around the perimeter of one of my hobby rooms. Lots of space above the doors and windows so it should be relatively easy to do.
The big project will be O3 in the basement. Decided on Lionel Legacy and MTH Scale Trax to get started. Pre-ordered six Legacy locomotives from the new 2018 Lionel catalogue this week including TH&B GP-9 #s 401 and 403, CN SD70ACe #'s 8101 and 8103, as well as IC U33C #'s 5052 and 5054. Also ordered Great Northern Ore Car 6-pack for my real gypsum loads, and the Thomas Christmas Set for my grandson.
Finally, ordered MTH ScaleTrax 072 curves and switches, lots of straights and some terminal tracks. Love the low-profile, blackened-centre rail and joinerless features of ScaleTrax which I will use exclusively.
Looking forward to great adventures in O.
