On my diesel switcher the AC board is replaced by the DC shorting plug. The AC board can then be removed from the unit. The units come with HiRail wheel sets installed and scale wheel sets in the box.So make sure that what you buy has either the set up you want or all the parts so
If you like the size of S, but want a steam locomotive railroad, On30 would be
a good choice. This is especially true if you need to keep the cost down. If
I were starting today, I would probably go this route. Fortunately, over the
last 20 years I have managed to acquire more than enough S
In the past I have used Shinohara flex and turnoouts. Next layout will be

In S I have
6 diesel switchers from SHS
1 GG1 from American Models
1 2-6-0 Rex kit to assemble
3 2-8-0 BTS kits to assemble
1 2-8-0 from SHS
In Sn2 I have
1 Forney from TT
3 2-8-0 MDC kits to assemble
1 Shay MDC kit to assemble

But first I think the idea a good one and it does have several S advertisers
displayed on its pages. The articles do provide a nice overview of S -
1. Per John Armstrong's book TRACK PLANNING FOR REALISTIC OPERATION, a small

Actually, I have posted from time to time, but I'm on the digest option and I
don't always read my email right away - so the discussions are usually old by

Just like this one, but I am replying anyway.
But I do enjoy
I started in HO in 1971. I looked at S scale in the late 70's and decided that
I liked the size. But I was afraid it would die out and I would have trouble
