    Hi Jason,

    I meant to say area :)

    but the nicest one I've had to date is an ho scale one, I had 5 locomotives and 22 cars, I had it setup sith a cool little trainyard w/ roundhouse was working on landscapes and all.

    It's fairly costly regardless of the way you go, I can vouch for that, But I cannot see paying the extra premium for lionel.. and all the lionel ones are too big for my liking.

    I used to be into HO scale trains a long time ago. Fun stuff. :)

    I was cleaning out my mom's shed last weekend and found my old HO scale trains from when I was a kid... if I had room i'd set them up again :(

    Yes, I have been trying to model HO scale for about 15 years now. I may finally have enough room to do so, but am now too short on $$$ for it!
    That should change here shortly.

    I picked HO because it was what I had when I was a kid, and I still had
    some track left. N would have been a good answer for my space problem, but
    I also like to paint and dry-transfer letter my own equipment. N would
    have been too small for my eyes (HO nearly is, sometimes!).

    I am meaning to concentrate on the mid-to-late 1950's. I like steam &
    early diesels. Originally, I had intended to model the L&N, but decided to free-lance. The L&N never ran some of the engines I really like (Alco PAs
    & Baldwin Sharks, for example). My road does. ;-)
