    I am currently in HO, but have modeled many scales over the years. I am wondering what folks think of the new Bachmann On30 gauge?? The more I read about it the more I like it...but I would like other opinions before I bail on HO.
    Happy Modeling!!

    I really liked it, The detail and the running was good, but the little Porter locomotive couldn't handle turnouts, as it would loose power on the gaps. It was great on a Christmas tree loop though...

    Thanks for the reply Ed. I wonder if different turnouts would have different results. I like the fact that this is geared toward a "ready made" narrow gauge model. Since I have never modeled in this scale before, I am also wondering what rolling stock (other than Bachmann) is available, and what building structure kits are good to check out. Thanks and Happy Modeling!!
