Not sure these are all collectors Bill - just people like me:
procrastinators, dreamers or totally inept at getting a layout done!
<G> The true collectors in S Scale are a very small subset. I think
we just have a large group of "accumulators". In the brass segment
(an area I know a little about...) I'd even go as far as saying, as a
percentage of the total, there is a larger set of S Scale modelers
consistently operating brass equipment than in any other scale.

P.S. I was thinking as I re-read this, we are beginning to talk
about subsets of subsets of a minority scale... yish!
