O27 allows more action in a limited space. The down aide is that tight curves make it impossible to run longer cars and locomotives. Nonetheless, O27 is a superb choice for the individual who likes more movement and variety in action. The layouts pictured here use standard O27 track and switches, along with operating accessories by MTH and Lionel, along with Plasticville buildings.. Note that the availability of accessories can change. You can substitute other accessories. Also, many items are reissued periodically.
Nice blend of freight activity and a trolley pike.
