 I have not been into O scale, but I used to run a G scale (live steam) layout in my garden. As with all scales larger than HO scale, space is a major issue O scale requires about double the space of HO scale - a 2´ by 8´ switching layout in HO computes to 4` by 16´ in O scale.Atlas offers a nice choice of 2-rail locos and rolling stock at what I think are reasonable prices, though much "dearer" than HO scale stuff. One thing I found out while working with larger scales was that the lack of detail was much more apparent than in smaller scales.  Detailing your layout and rolling stock then becomes a must - don´t forget to model correct size bird droppings! [:D]Would I go for 3-rail O scale? I´d say no, unless you are a nostalgia buff.
