In my perspective as a model railroader, LEGO is close to O but the
"mini-figs" are WAY off on proportion. I have seen a person convert an O
track into a lego track(doesnt look good). The voltage is different on O
from Lego, he just used an adapter and power reducer and connected them into
the circut, which is more practical to use a O controler/ and DCC :)
The only problem with O and LEGO is that the turn radius is much
different. If any one knows what i am talking about, the O scale has a much
larger minimum while lego has a pre-difined turn radius.
BTW kit-bashing is the process when one takes one kit and combines it
with another to get the same form of building/car/train/enigne/etc only
larger/nicer looking. The thing your talking about Chris is called
CONVERTING :)
kai,
who has come from HO to LEGO
