Every year or so generally after the Milwaukee show, where one group as one sweet 2rail moduel and another as a huge 3 rail mod. Most times i come away with the 2 rail layout the winner, why? They look the best as far as scale goes. Atlas now makes a comlpete list of two rail track. But I end up with a strong desire to switch to O, what stops me ? I start to do some online pricing of track and equitment. But the main thing that strikes me is I realize the sheer size of this stuff. If you go O scale just take all your HO stuff and double its size. A 22 rad. is now 44in, a #6 switch instead of about a foot, its now close to 22inchs long. Oh, also double the prices! If you are doing 2 rail which most LHS carry little of in stock, most of what you want is going to have to be ordered. <br /> But if you were willing to do a short line or a nice switching layout, scale O would be great. Atlas's SW's look great and run even better then they look. Anyone looking for about 200 HO cars and 50+ engines?
