Hoping to get some advice here... Had HO scale as a kid, but haven't done anything in 25 years or so... Still have my HO, but only a few cars, couple engines, and an old transformer...no tracks or buildings. I want to get back into railroading...but very unsure as to which way to go. I do remember the HO's being somewhat unreliable, but have things changed since then? Besides space considerations what are some differences btwn the gauges? I've got pretty good room, so can go with O gauge... I want to do this with my 4 year old...I know, you'll say go with O b/c of the size...but my son is very advanced for his age, and that really won't be a consideration. What about price? Seems like O is expensive...compared to what I thought it would cost...how are the other gauges compared? Just any help would be appreciated for someone knowing NOTHING about the current state of Model Railroading... Also, I'm interested in doing lots with electronic wiring, interface with a PC, automation, anything like that, if that plays a role in which gauge I should choose... thanks, jdhermit
