Most popular gauges in the USA are Standard (of course), followed by 3ft brought to you mainly by the mighty Rocky and San Jaun Mountains and next runner up, IMO, would be 2ft gauge of the New England states. After that would be the relatively obscure gauges like 30 and 42" gauge etc...
So, that being said, what is the big Infatuation with 30" when it's actually not very common. There's really not much in 24 except some very dated assets from Rich Blake and Narrowgauge. On "the other side of the pond" there's a lot of really nice rolling stock and engines, but virtually none for the US. Granted 2ft was a lot more common "over there" then here. Thoughts? Due to lack of interest? 30" became fashionable due to Bachmann's On30? I think the Maine 2ft'ers could use a little representation!
