If you look into it more you'll find O scale doesn't have as high an entry
cost as S scale does. There's a lot more used O stuff floating around out there
than there is S stuff. This coupled with O's huge size thus the need for less
stuff to fill up the space makes O quite affordable but it still doesn't
over-ride it's huge size disadvantage when one is trying to get an interesting
realistic looking track plan and scenery into a reasonably sized space. If you
are only thinking in cost per square foot then O ranks right up there with HO
scale in affordability.....dave
