And of you get into Sn3, etc. ... Yikes! I agree, if ever there were a "runners" scale for brass, S is it. Just the same, they are works of art, particularly the big steamers you two brought in. That 2-8-4 and 2-10-4 pair are superb!

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. Jim K. P.S. I was thinking as I re-read this, we are beginning to talk about subsets of subsets of a minority scale... yish! [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
