John, Couldn't agree more with your comments about "S" allowing you to enjoy the hobby again.
SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE. Besides finding the size (half-way between "O" & "HO") to be ideal, I too have found CONTENTMENT with not having to deal with limitless choices, second guessing oneself, etc... It may be difficult for some to understand, but I too have found it to be liberating.

"Why S?!?" "Why S?!?" So I figured I'd better do some real soul-searching and figure out just why I did make this choice... The best answer I can give to this question is that S scale has offered me a chance to start over and enjoy the hobby again. While in HO, I came to a point of being a "rivet counter"... In my case, every time a new model came out, I always found myself asking the same question over and over - "Is this model a suitable representation of a prototype equipment owned and operated by my favorite, real railroad - I found myself constantly wondering and worrying if every model I bought was suitable (accurate enough) for my collection. This ended up nearly draining the love out of me that I once had for this hobby... the joy of just watching the trains run. Yahoo!
