Come on, don't turn this into a platform for train puns.

First class response, that...

He did express it well.

So many puns, I can't keep track...

I striked out thinking up something witty so I'll just delay for now.

Given that for a lot of people here only custom will do, I'm amazed nobody has mentioned EM gauge...

Knowing about EM suggests you know a fair bit about the topic. Glad I’m not alone....

What was the difference between HO and OO then ?

Same track size but different scale trains and buildings.  HO more prominent in Europe, OO more UK spec.

We have some Fleischmann HO scale stuff that's about 55 years old, some of it boxed too.

My Dad left behind a ton of N and Z gauge. The admin nightmare of ensuring that we get rid of it whilst not being ripped off is painful. Then there's the model buses and over 100 Airfix plane models, boxed and untouched. :-(

I suspect a similar thing will happen when my Dad passes on.

As there is likely to be a bit of a cliff-edge for people's treasured vintage guitars when the boomers die off, there will be a much bigger one for the old modelling hobbies.
