In stumbling across your channel and viewing this video I’m glad to hear/see the over emphasis in mass. In embarking on my first large layout and die hard 3-railer (for now), I’ve chosen an underlying theme for my layout nicknamed the MM&R for Mass, Momentum & Radius as the predominant detail for which all other details will defer to. Having the room and freedom I’ve chosen floor construction to accommodate maximum radii and train running length and as an adjunct, high vantage point as an asset. I also get to sit “within” my layout and running sessions and really enjoy this view. Happy to see the emphasis on mass as this is so important for feel that simply cannot be duplicated in smaller scales.
2 rail O for the win!! I have been in it for 2 yrs and Atlas is by far the best manufacturer. I have almost all "modern" models they have made. Very nice stuff!
I have seen and photographed what I believe are cape gauge trains in both Namibia and South Africa; although I could not pull out a ruler and measure the gauge. I have also been to Newfoundland and hiked the roadbed of the former narrow gauge there. They were definitely 42" gauge.
In his introduction he introduces a snobbery by implying that O Scale 2 rail is somehow better than O Scale three rail. They have visually different track. Besides they are just hobbies so why should anyone care?
Not true. Please see my video on Rick Wright's 3 rail layout and my upcoming video (in editing now) revisiting Rick's layout. I started in 3 rail myself. There's a lot to be said for modern 3 rail trains. But this is primarily a 2 rail channel designed to promote 2 rail O Scale.

Very informitive thanks for sharing

Good video. Its O scale or no scale. :-)
Excellence!!! Thank you...
Thank you for this video.
Great presentation! O Scale Rocks! 🤘😏
Thanks
In much of the British Empire Cape Gauge 42 in (3 ft 6 in) gauge was quite common. Nobody modeled this gauge. Not necessarily a bad thing.
