In all honesty, I fall right into that category as the time, effort and skills to create such a layout seemed far too advanced for me to attempt myself. And although I am quite pleased with the layouts I have created using plastic tracks, I still have always wanted to have my own routed wood track.I was told the track would be completely ready to run with copper tape, paint and wiring installed. I also was fortunate that he offered to send in some of his custom made driver's stations as well. In just 4 days my track was delivered and it was time to get put it together. However, I have to comment on how well he packaged the track. The layout was split in half and then wrapped snugly in cardboard. These are about as simple as it gets and we were impressed on how well he constructed them. Each station is clearly marked and has enough wire included to begin installation.

O gauge in 1939, in which the locomotive and car bodies are scaled to 1:64 scale, making them approximately 25% smaller than the standard 1:48 for O gauge while still running on the same type of three-rail track. While this allowed the S-scale trains to navigate tighter curves that would cause a conventional O gauge train to derail or jump the track, Gilbert actually introduced a wider radius (20") track for added realism. This still resulted in curves that were much tighter than those that appear in the real world, but appeared much more realistic than the 13.5" radius (O27) gauge train cars that appeared "stubby" in length.
