I can't resist replying here, even though I don't currently have any O-gauge stock.
I do, however, have a large collection of British 00 gauge, which is similar to our HO. I have one British tank engine made by Hornby Dublo (which went out of business in 1964) that my Dad and I ran together in the mid-1960s. It was probably made during 1962-64 -- my Dad and I were definitely running it in 1964. And it still runs like a charm today.
I also have 3 other Hornby Dublo locos from 1962-64 that I often run -- two of these were fairly recent acquisitions.
I'm so amazed that these locos because they're almost 50-years-old. Quite a testimony to their quality. There are even HD locos out there from 1938 that still run! (although I don't have any of these pre-war ones because they're 3-rail).
