QUOTE: Originally posted by Roadtrp I really love Lionel O gauge 3-rail. That is what I had when I was young... I loved it then and I love it now. If I had the space (and the money) that is what I would model right now. It may not be as good for "serious modelers" (though Big_Boy_4005 might give you an argument there), but I love the size of the equipment and the range of operating accessories available. As you can probably guess, my favorite part of model railroading is PLAYING with my trains. If you are happy with your Lionel trains, I don't see any reason to switch. I will admit that HO equipment is more realistic, much less expensive, and you can get a lot more in a small space. But I'd switch to O in a minute if I had the space and money. [:)]
I'm back!
