Many a newbie model railroader will decide that, instead of HO, they prefer to build their railroad empire using O scale model trains. While the bigger trains may seem easier to work with and just plain more fun they can also be a source of frustration to the inexperienced. Here are some common mistakes made with O scale trains.
Is your turning radius too tight? While the minimum turning radius for an O scale train is 24 inches you have to realize that box cars and passenger cars are not the same length. If you're recreating an 19th century freight route you might be OK but if you decide that instead you'd like to run a modern Amtrak passenger train you may be plagued with derailments with such a small turning radius. Besides the functionality of too small a turn radius you also have the glaring fact that it just doesn't look that realistic.
Are your inclines too steep? Most new model railroaders envision some sort of tunnel or bridge in their layout where the trains will run underneath its own track or up over the roads the cars travel. When you're working in smaller scale where you have room to build long inclines this is not usually an issue. Not so with O scale. Given the height required to clear another train track your O scale layout will require a very long incline indeed especially if you've created a long train to begin with. You're not going to go from ground level to train clearing bridge height in only two feet. If you do not have large layout, one solution is to send your lower track slightly underground so that your upper track does not need to rise as much.
Is your landscape out of scale? Even though a locomotive is higher than a one story house we must remember that in the real world trees still tower over trains. No where is this single mistake made more than with O scale train layouts. The same scaling mistake is common with outbuildings and people. When buying any accessories or buildings for your layout make sure that you know it is to scale and not that it just looks to be the correct scale.
Does your train match your track? Unlike Ho scale where everything pretty much works with everything else, O scale modeling can truly be confusing when it comes to matching the correct track to your train. Since the early days when these toy trains were run on shiny three rail tracks there have been some major innovations that include two rail systems, more authentic O gauges and the option of running O scale trains on narrow tracks. Do your research before buying even your first train set, because once you've selected a track, you're stuck with it or will be doing a major overall down the road.
Keep these common mistakes in mind when planning your layout and it should make building your O scale train layout much more enjoyable.

Yemassee (Amtrak Station) $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Yemassee Amtrak station is an Amtrak station in Yemassee, South Carolina. Located at 15 Wall Street (erroneously listed as 9 Main Street in the Amtrak timetable and at Amtrak.com), the station consists of a covered platform on the northwest side of the northeastsouthwest tracks, a small parking lot, and a building. The building is mostly boarded up, but it does have a small waiting room for Amtrak passengers. It also contains a freight depot. Both the station and the freight house were originally built by the Charleston and Western Carolina Railway and later run by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. Yemassee is served by the Palmetto and Silver Meteor trains of Amtraks Silver Service. Both trains pass through Yemassee, near the growing towns of Beaufort and Hilton Head, at roughly the same times of the day; the northbound Palmetto and southbound Silver Meteor do so in the morning, while the southbound Palmetto and northbound Silver Meteor come through in the evening.

Prairie Marksman, Amtrak $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Prairie Marksman was a daily passenger train operated by Amtrak between Chicagos Union Station and East Peoria, Illinois. The route was an indirect successor to the Rock Islands Peoria Rocket. Prior to the creation of Amtrak Peoria was served by the Rock Islands Peoria Rocket. Then in serious financial distress, the Rock Island opted out of Amtrak in 1971: the company decided it was cheaper to keep running its remaining passenger trains than to join Amtrak. The Peoria Rocket and the Quad Cities Rocket continued running until December 31, 1978, providing one roundtrip each day between Chicagos LaSalle Street Station and both Peoria and Rock Island, Illinois via Joliet, Illinois. With the demise of the Rock Island Peorias nearest railroad connection was at Chillicothe, Illinois, 20 miles (32 km) to the north, where Amtraks Lone Star (ChicagoKansas CityHouston) stopped daily. The Lone Star, however, fell victim to budget cuts and was discontinued in October 1979. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
