I model in HO, and am not fluent in O.

But, considering the first part of that sentence, I would check out Atlas O.  I just had a quick look, and could see things that look pretty nice.

Well, there are not that many O scale manufacturers around, so the answer is easy - all of the two !

Hi,

I suggest you post this question on the "classic toy trains" forum on this site.  The folks there are pretty knowledgeable about O scale - and don't let the "toy" part throw you off, for there are some serious modelers there!

If you had a minimum budget,a 14x14 ft.room,wanted to use 2 rail track,liked scale o gauge engines & cars,hated traction tires,strived for realism,wanted to use diesel & steam engines,wanted reliable equiptment, enjoyed running at least 10 freight cars at a time ,  what manufacturer would you suggest to start with ?
