What is MOST important to you as a modeler ?

Or, if you wi***o comment place them in order of importance to you.

Scale
Manufacturer (Atlas, Athearn, Bachmann …)
Roadname (BNSF, CSX, NS … )
Category ( Locos - Motive, Rolling Stock, Track, Kits, Supplies )

I am doing a little bit of research any help or comment would be helpful.
Thank you, Chris

Scale is most important because it determines everything else. Make sure that the scale you choose has the equipment you want in the other 3 categories readily available.

HO will probably never be a problem. Other scales might be. The choice you make on scale has a HUGE impact on what the possibilities are for your MR.

Hello dewcansam, and welcome to the forum.

I agree with Roadtrp. It all begins with scale and goes from there.

By the way dewcansam, you failed to include “other” in the choices which is really going to tick SpaceMouse off when he sees this poll…

My scale is already set (HO) so…Cost of product vs. quality…You can buy cheap stuff and fix it up yourself, or you can spend a lot of $$$ and not have to mess with it. ( I like doing things myself)[^][2c]
