Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
I WAS a real life HO modeler up until last year. I sold (still selling) my HO scale collection to build my S Scale collection. And I may have one other HO modeler and an N Scale modeler ready to

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Gents.... How many of us have actually sat down with a real-life avid HO modeler and discussed the availability of S products?? Here we are asking ourselves about how to sell S to HO/N modelers but I

Re: NWSL J&L Tank, Another Question
There is a builders photo, probably from the CBC, circulating. The problem with builders photos is that too often they are painted in a light primer to highlight detail; most steam locomotives are

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Oh yeah, the "not enough stuff available" comment pisses me off. I know my collection of 400+ freight cars and 50 locomotives, all in scale, is not the largest in the world. But when you consider that

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Hi All, First off, the New Tracks program is not a podcast. It is a Zoom meeting with a livestream on YouTube. It has video. I like to think of it as the Carol Burnett Show of model railroading. You

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
I would have put money --that I had spelled it correctly! but apparently not--thanks Chuck? Yes it is "Media Photographers" and I, B one! Bob Werre

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Just to be pedantic, it is "Media" photographers, not "Median.'? However, in that group, I suppose there would have to be a median photographer. Charles E. "Chuck" Kinzer

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Mike, One of the things I always found funny when doing local train shows where the Houston S Gaugers had their layout set up, was when a member of the audience, who showed some modicum of interest in

Re: NWSL J&L Tank, Another Question
Jace, When these cars were in service they were black with what I remember was white lettering but it may have been silver. I've performed a number of engineering projects at a number of steel mills

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
I have to put some of the blame on our name--National Association of S Gaugers. I mentioned before that a visitor at a trainshow attended by modelers (not just 'people who like trains') asked me what

Re: Diesels on the way out..............in California
We can look forward to "California layouts." ?Rather than plugged into an unreliable electrical grid subject to rotating blackouts, power up with an exercise bike attached to a 12 volt DC generator.

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Taking what Shane Lambert said and running with it... For starters... if I were to do a presentation, it would focus on the fact that American Flyer does NOT solely represent S scale, as most

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Perhaps Jim Whipple or Jamie Bothwell will pitch in here but the NASG is now a sponsor of Jim Kellow's podcast "NEW TRACKS MODELING".? We recently completed a 60 second video 'ad' promoting S which

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Personally I'd like to address the misconception that S Scale is too "toy like" to be taken seriously. I think those who refer to S Scale as toy trains only know about American Flyer and have not seen
