What Size (Scale) do I Buy

O gauge and O-27 gauge are essentially the same size and are small enough for little hands, but big enough to keep the trains and fun on track. The smaller scales, like HO, can be too delicate and difficult to align on the track. And the larger scales take a lot of room to store. O gauge is ideal for small spaces, too. Most times an advanced layout is no larger than a household door.
