Hi, I believe I've been on this list if not from the start, to almost from the start. I would like to ask all of you S scale modelers on this list the following questions.
(1) Do you actually have a layout, or do you just model in S scale? (2) If you do run your scale models on a layout, [yours or anybody's] are they exactly prototypically made to scale with all the detail, including underbodies? (3) Do you attempt to run scale models as true to scale as best you can? (4) Are there models on your layout that are true to scale, but not finished. Like the underbodies are not completely finished, and so on? (5) Do you have any un-scale models running on your layout? (6) Are you serious when you say that a SHS or AM model is off from the prototype 1/10 of a foot, or that the slope is off a fraction, or that the markings are wrong, or it has the wrong headlights for the model SHS-AM and others are re-creating? (7) Are you having fun? Living in Hershey, Pa., I get a lot of visitors over a year and I pride myself as being an S scaler. I must be quite honest with you all, I've seen many hundreds of model railroads and I can't ever re-call seeing a perfect scale model railroad, in any scale, and I've seen some real beautiful model railroads. I'm sure there are some perfect scale models out there, but can they really run on track? Anyway, this message may seem acrimonious. But after being in S scale since 1962, I've often wondered about the above questions. The only questions above that I can say yes to, is yes, I have a scale layout, 4, 5, and 7. "S"ee ya!
