Ken,
First welcome to the group. As you can see I am not modeling the 80s but I am in S for 26 years now. If you are doing 80s and newer it takes a bit to find out where things are. I have said that we are not in S Scale because it was easy! You have to work a bit for your art. For the most part Des Plaines is the supplier of the most and most accurate "modern" rolling stock. They have a SD45 in the works but no known release date. They have the Coal Porter, Husky Stack and a boxcar. Wide vision cabooses were brass and also from S Helper Service. There is the 2 new American Flyer diesels that you can get scale wheels for. I never thought I would be recommending AF to a Scaler but it is nice stuff. Sit back and relax. Absorb. S is about the journey not the destination. And people. So that is 2 main attractions to S. And the size so that makes 3 things.... Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy & PRSL in 1957 in S Scale since 1987 See my finished models at: <http://www.lanestrains.com/> http://www.lanestrains.com Look at what has been made in PRR in S Scale!
