I have just made a decision to go DCC with my S
I just want to take this opportunity to invite everyone to the
Central Jersey S Scaler's 24th Fall Get-Together. Every year we get
around 75 dedicated S model builders to come to our gathering at
Christ's Church in South Amboy, NJ. The day is October 1st, with set up
on Friday September
Does anyone have a set or two of S Scale Express Trucks? I know
that John Bortz made these a few years back. If anyone does, please let
me know.
Best,
Don
