> > 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? We have a portable layout that we take to shows > (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? No > (3) Do you attempt to run scale models as true to scale as best you can? Yes > (4) Are there models on your layout that are true to scale, but not > finished. Yes > Like the underbodies are not completely finished, and so on? Yes > (5) Do you have any un-scale models running on your layout? No > (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? I would very much like them to be as close as possible but I realize that there are limitations we have to live with. > (7) Are you having fun? Certinally, or I wouldn't be doing it. > > Living in Hershey, Pa., I get a lot of visitors over a year and I pride > myself as being an S scaler.

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! > Bill Fraley > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > Change your membership, change your message settings, use our CALENDAR, > view shared files or photos, view the list archives, GO TO > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/S-Scale/ > Yahoo!
