Forum Roundup #2
Here’s another installment of my periodic roundup of forum posts I found to be interesting.
O Scale or O Gauge?? Posted by George Gast on OGR forum. Explains the difference between O Scale and O Gauge.
Yer Fragmented Market Posted by Trigtrak on OGR forum. Many opinions on the current and future state of the O Gauge hobby.
Nascar + Lionel = Bye Bye Bankruptcy!!! Posted by tsgtbob on OGR forum. This one touched off some heated debate resulting in 136 replies and counting. Many different opinions on NASCAR, it’s fans, and their willingness to support Lionel’s new NASCAR items. The following post by LionelPWCOperator really struck a nerve:
I don’t think NASCAR will do anything for Lionel. In marketing terms
NASCAR has a low-income demographic composed of uneducated individuals
who drink, smoke, and watch a lot of sports on TV. This demographic
lacks the purchasing power to buy Lionel products, and Lionel wasted
its money on the NASCAR license. This type of demographic is better
suited to the alcohol and tobacco industry which does very well with
NASCAR.
The Village of Greenbrook Posted by Charbonneau on MTJ forum. In this thread, which started in September of ‘05, Norm Charbonneau keeps everyone updated on the progress of his layout. Norm appears to be considered a legendary modeler by O-Gauge enthusiasts and one look at pictures of his layouts explains why. It’s a long thread so just skim through it to find the pictures.
