G'day.....I'm in friendly but foreign territory here ( I model in HO) . Louis (Bruette) has taught me so much about this great scale, not least about Lionel..I was wondering how many of the American members have had experience of Hornby from England.....Their mainstay is OO or Dublo as they call it 1:76 scale but they have a pretty decent history in O Scale too...I think it's both 2 and 3 rail....but I could be wrong...definitely do O scale though...In Australia , as kids , most of us had a link to Hornby in some way....Did Hornby make a dent in the US market but I expect with the iconic Lionel range and history , probably not..If you go to You Tube type in Hornby O Scale you'll find numerous videos on the English brand....Just interested on what the O ers ....think in comparison to American items...I'd say the type of rolling stock would be a glaring difference especially in the vintage styles...but that'd hold true with Hornby OO to HO too most likely... Cheers Rod....
