Re: Choice of Scales (was My modest S collection
Hi John -- American TT was 1/10" per foot. 2.54 mm is very close. Re: O standard gauge, see Chuck's Q and my Proto48 comments. You are correct about 1-1/4" . Of course, HO's 3.5mm / foot is a

Re: Choice of Scales (was My modest S collection
Hi Chuck -- Nothing "wrong" there, but just as much as there is a "Q" scale, there is also Proto 48 with a nominal standard gauge of the track at 1-11/64" (if my math is correct!). All too fussy for

Re: Choice of Scales (was My modest S collection
O27 is typically very undersized.? But most of the "regular O Gauge" Lionel and others sold was also undersized and not to scale.? Only the occasional item was scale such as the scale Hudson and

Re: Choice of Scales (was My modest S collection
I would suggest that O27 is O gauge but is not to any scale. It is the true toy train system.

Re: Postal delays are getting outta hand
From my experience, in recent times, no one service is any better than the other! I sent a 9x12 envelope from near Milwaukee to near Toledo via USPS nine days ago and finally was able to get tracking

Re: Choice of Scales (was My modest S collection
Please refer to what I linked.? Hornby states 120(2.54mm/ft).? Is this "true" TT or is it no good?? TT is whatever Hornby makes.? We don't make anything. Consider O.? US is 1:48.? Everywhere

This is one of the info panels I made for Scouting Merit Badge classes we do at our local railroad museum.? Each has a very brief comment.? If any seem wrong, let me know. Charles E. "Chuck"

With respect to ¡°outsiders¡± at conventions, in my opinion, interested guests at the hotel and friends of members should be welcomed.

Re: On topic (S scale railroad modeling)
Thank you and hello to Brooks.? My personal feeling,? for whatever it is worth, is that I like having our S scale groups and conventions confined to S scale.I am reasonably annoyed when I search

Re: On topic (S scale railroad modeling)
Good points Brooks. I wonder what Ken Zieska would say? He¡¯s been very active in the NMRA for well over a decade and has hosted a yearly modelers meet featuring S and other scales for a decade.

Re: On topic (S scale railroad modeling)
I wonder if a factor contributing to the level of acceptance of S by the broader modeling community through the years has been the tendency for S modelers to stay 'close to the fold' rather than

Re: On topic (S scale railroad modeling)
O scale seems to be doing OK so size isn¡¯t much of a factor. Gilbert thrived until AC died and it dumped when quality dropped dramatically under the crooked new owner. AC¡¯s son had no drive, no

The more surprising in that 00 used 4mm instead of the bizarre 3.5mm. North American TT largely went into decline because HP, its largest manufacturer and biggest booster, stopped making it; I don't
