I come from the N scale world and was wondering if there is an equivalent O scale page to the N Scale Spookshow page?

Not that I know of, would be nice.

There is the O Scale Resource online magazine which is quite useful:

Jay,

It's a website that writes up reports on many "N" scale brass and plastic locomotives. I believe it's been around for decades and compiled by a very avid "N" scaler. There are comments about importers, running abilities and/or problems with each loco it reviews. I thought it was closed several years ago, at least regarding new reviews, but I could be wrong.

Style O, you'll have to just ask questions about any locos you're thinking of purchasing and I believe you will received a lot of "real world" opinions from operators of these locos. There is a tremendous amount of information and knowledge about O scale on this and many O scale forums. And, everyone is more than happy to give you their honest opinion.

Yep, even if they're full of it. Guess that probably transcends scale and gauge!

Hmmm...I thought it was the wheat from the chaff. :D

Actually, it's separating the P:48 wannabes from the true believers of old.

I was trying to be more universal for those who don't have wheat. Your verse is what I grew up with too. :D
