Your scale

What a great poll... given that I modeled HO with my dad growing up and for the first seven months of this year when I returned to the hobby in January. BUT... seeing N at a show less than a month ago, the details and offerings were amazing! I made the switch on the spot.

I model HO mainly because of all the stuff available. However, I think that TT would be the perfect size. Large enough to show detail, and small enough to allow much more railroad in a given space. I am retired, and N scale is just too small for me.

I began with Marx wind-ups in the early 50's and got my first electric train for Christmas in '57, an American Flyer steamer. I went to HO in the 60's, left the hobby in the late 60's, and four years ago started with S again. During the Christmas season, I run 12 trains, many as layouts with buildings, etc. in scales from Z to G. It's a treat to see the visitors come over and view everything.

My first layout was Lionel O. That got me hooked on model railtroading. My first HO set had a rubber band drive & went back to the store. My corner Woolworth store sold Postage Stamp N scale sets for christmas and I still have it! N scale today is so much better than in the past. I like to play with my HO scale set on the floor around the christmas tree. Have fun model railroading!

My first train was an American Flyer freight set that I bought for $25. That was in the late 40's. Added another American Flyer Passenger train, and had those 2 until I started in HO in the Mid 70's. Put away the trains in 1980 as no longer had a place to run them. In 1999 I decided to unpack them, and found that my eyes were not as good as they used to be, so I repacked them and bought a G scale starter set. From that I have expanded to a fairly large garden railroad covering an area of about 30 x 80 feet, and am enjoying it more than ever did the others.

I model mainly in HO, but I do have a leaning to "O" scale, Thats true "O" scale of cause (7mm to foot).

HO seems to be the best compromise between detail and available square footage in which to model. I'm sure we would all love to commandeer most (if not all) of the house, but a happy marriage requires tact and compromise. Someday I hope to actually own a house and then start my very own train room! Well, we all have our dreams...

I model in 2 rail O Scale. The items that are currently available are better than ever. I was a Lionel/Marx collector for many years I thought about returning to HO, but there is just too much excitement about modelling 2 rail O scale.

I use HO most of the time (mostly HOn30), but do occasionally build a kit in On2 or OO9

My first train was an AF 293 set for Christmas in 1953. Couldn't afford to add much to that until the trains were relegated to storage during my service, college and early married years. Added a few collections during the time but no place to display or operate. My 14 year old Son discovered the sets two years ago and guess what, we both love S. S-guage with all the great new items from S-Helper, American Models, DesPlaines Hobbies and yes it appears Lionel is seriously trying to get back into the game, to list just some of the major players, offer a wider than ever assortment that is of great quality and reasonably affordable. I have not even touched on the great brass items out there also. I have no plans to switch from a "HiRail-scaler" in S. The old AF runs and mixes just fine with the new and there is more available than ever before.

when kids started with chilean G gauge, with my brother. Today the Ho scale permits self constructing and modify the model to reproduce real and actual locos and cars.
