    Wish we had more Bob Weavers in the existing companies. The O hobby today, has a void of Fallen Flags and real car variety offerings that was his specialty.
    His layout and car selection were spot on!

    This is a great RR, but O guage is three rail. O scale is two rail.🎉🎉

      The word “gauge” is badly misunderstood by many in the hobby. “Gauge” simply defines the distance between the rails. However, in the hobby, the words _“gauge”_ and _“scale”_ are often used interchangeably. It’s not correct, but it has become common usage. So this is an _“O gauge”_ layout because the distance between the rails is correct for O scale/gauge.

      @@OGRRUclips Three rail O gauge is toy trains. Two O gauge is scale model railroading. That is simple to understand.

      @@MartinSBrown-tp9ji No, it’s not that simple. There are many very accurate *scale* model railroads that use 3-rail track. These modelers use Kadee couplers and run highly detailed, scale-size equipment on 3-rail track.
      *”SCALE”* refers to the *SIZE* of the model. Anything modeled at 1/48 real size is “*O Scale”* no matter whether it is 2-rail or 3-rail track.
      *”GAUGE”* is nothing more than the distance between the rails.
