If you like the size of S, but want a steam locomotive railroad, On30 would be a good choice. This is especially true if you need to keep the cost down. If I were starting today, I would probably go this route. Fortunately, over the last 20 years I have managed to acquire more than enough S scale rolling stock for a basement empire. Much of it was acquired at great discount as different manufacturers and dealers went out of the S scale business. And while I don't have all the steam locomotives I want, I do have enough to be content.
BTW if you're not too fussy and want some old time rolling stock then buy some of Bachmann's On30 and replace the trucks.
