Thanks for the comments everyone. Alan - the train in this photo is HO scale, roughly half the size of O.
When I was in the hobby shop buying the circle of track for these trains I saw some modern O. Wow, nothing like the old Lionel stuff that I remember from when I was a kid. Much more detailed and very much made to look as real as possible. Also, very expensive. $50-$80 for a boxcar. Engine prices were in the Hundreds of dollars. That would add up pretty quickly. Of course, O is pretty big, so you wouldn't need much. Then again, from the conversation I overheard while there, I'm guessing the train hobbyists have the same issues with rolling stock as photographers have with lenses. gs George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 1:31 PM, Alan C <[email protected]> wrote: > Great idea.
