O Scale Model
Railroading
O Gauge is a very popular scale due to its relatively large size and extensive detail.
This scale is the normal scale for Lionel, the most well known name in model railroading.
To see an example of what can be done in O Gauge, and its narrow gauge version On30,
view the store's O Gauge Layout.
Ratio
1:48 Scale
On30 is also 1:48 scale but it uses HO Scale track.
Pricing
Engines: A typical basic O gauge locomotive will range from as low as
$200.00 for a very basic diesel engine to
$900.00 or more for a large detailed steam locomotive.
Rolling Stock: O gauge rolling stock can run as little as
$20.00 for a very basic box car to $150.00
or more for detailed passenger cars.
Structures: O gauge buildings can run anywhere from
$25.00 to $400.00 or more depending on
size and detail.
Space Requirement
A classic figure 8 style setup in O gauge will measure roughly 60 by 136 inches.
Why Choose O Scale?
O gauge offers great detail and realism in a size that
still allows for indoor layout design.
The size also makes scratch building and layout detailing simple as pieces tend to be large enough for easy handling.
