Hello all…
I am an O gauge operator, with a modest 15’ X 20’ X 20’ horseshoe shaped layout. I run (mostly) scale equipment from Lionel & MTH under command control….DCS & TMCC remote handhelds.
Until two weeks ago, I had ZERO interest in G.
I’m in long term ground & flight training at my airline, for The Airbus A320. While sitting in my hotel room, mired in studying for the ‘systems’ written test, I needed a break to rest my feeble brain.
Youtube, in its algorithm’s infinite wisdom, suggested a video from Melbournesparks.
They were some of the most mentally & physically relaxing things I’ve ever viewed... like an off switch for the mind.
Naturally, I’ve purchased a 2035 trolley, and 2046 RhB rack locomotive. Also a smattering of track, a few switches, including a lovely 3-way LGB switch. About 30 catenary poles & several tubes of new old stock wire...a 12 pack of rack rail & 24 of their track locks. A reverse loop track set, a switch controller. Also a nearly free MRC Tech II transformer…since all my O gauge track power is AC.
I think that about sums it up. I’ve gone off the deep end, and I’m eagerly awaiting a fun outdoor garden layout project with the kids this spring.
Thanks in advance to whomever may help answer my probably basic, and ridiculous questions in the future.
