Grew up on HO then got into N. Bought an American Flyer set on Ebay from the the 50's. Not impressed. My son is into O gauge primarily Lionel. Price ranges are similar but more is available in O gauge. I totally agree with Joe.
I did at one time but not anymore. I didn't want to get involved in the maintenance issues that come with them. To much of a hassle. I'm buying new Lionel pieces now.
