Which one will sell more than the other?

“If you ask a question like that, you must be one of the uninformed.”

l don’t know what question you are referring to. I’m not being critical, I would just like to understand.

“Unfortunately, 3r is full of colorful, fantasy and whimsical items folks seem to spend big bucks on. I never could fathom that.”

3 rail O gauge trains have always been toy trains rather than scale trains, thus all the fantasy and colorful but prototypically incorrect paint schemes. The relatively recent trend toward 3R O scale is influenced by its toy train heritage. I think that will always be. Guys will spend big bucks on fantasy O gauge because it’s what they enjoy. My gut feeling, and I could be wrong, is that the overwhelming majority of “serious” scale modelers go with 2 rail rather than 3. The 3R O scale guys are more loosey goosey when it comes to prototypical accuracy than 2 railers. Not a criticism of 3R O scale, just my opinion.

thanks for steering this thread back to trains. A true shame that it went politcal due to Rocky Snowflakes and the other hypocrites. Rebuttals containing non-fiction facts must be like falling into poison ivy for these lost souls. Truth may hurt, but learn from it and put your big girl pants on and try and use critical thinking.
