By 1935 there was more than talk. Charles Wynne had been pioneering the scale since WW1. See http://www.s-scale.org.uk/history.htm The SSMRS (originally H1 MRS) celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2006 and fortunately the oldest of Charles Wynne's locos survives in society ownership to honour the memory of our pioneer.
