    Some questions about scale.......

    Jim - a thorough and interesting response. I thank you. Fortunately I live close to probably one of the best model RR shops in the country (English's in Montoursville, PA) so I'll have a look see. I was leaning towards O-27 but you are right about the toy-like appearance. Still I like the...

    Thanks for your reply Trucla. Incidentally, I hang around musicians posing as a bass player. I will investigate the S scale and "blackened" rail track.
