Think of the price of all that track! 
It is one of those things where you need to decide and then just stick with it. Most mamods seem to be 0 gauge, and the track is cheaper, so it is the one for me.

Not all MM.

It's pointless as most people run on 0 gauge surely?

Here in the US, most of the Garden Railroaders I have known use LGB or G, but those who use larger scale indoors use O which was made so famous by Lionel, I always used S before I did a lot of HO, S was due to the fact that I had American Flyer Trains.
