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)

Re: On topic (S scale railroad modeling)
I think it is mainly the layout limitations due to the scale.? Once HO became known and pretty reliable, there was no contest for those who didn't have much room for a layout.? And that was a lot

Re: On topic (S scale railroad modeling)
Wow. The ad and the adaganda reads as if S has a super bright future ahead of it. Seriously: What went awry with S? It IS a great size, there's no denying that... but WHY didn't it take hold and
