Seems to me, at this point in time, the KISS principal would apply regarding the general definition of various categories of S.
I have an interest in S Scale since entering the model RR hobby in 1985, so it all seems rather straight forward! SCALE: (at one end of the S spectrum) Any items of track, couplers, wheels, locomotives, or rolling stock that are in fact scale, or very closely resembles scale. AF: (at the other end of the S spectrum) Anything made by American Flyer, Lionel, or K-Line resembling a toy, and can travel at 200 scale miles per hour around small radius track. Has large everything below the floorboard. :-) HI-RAIL: Anything in between SCALE and AF, except TIN PLATE or Sn-X Sn-X: Any size of Narrow Gauge, which for the most part, is also Scale. TIN PLATE: My understanding is Pre-War, metal items. (not real sure about this one) All seems very simple to me! Knowing full well that I have put myself in harms way for incoming flack, let it fly! :-) Gary Chudzinski To REPLY to the list, use REPLY ALL; to reply to the sender, use REPLY.
