A "real" S scale guy does not pout when he cannot find what he
wants. He goes out and does something about it. In some cases, he
makes up a kit and then sells extras to the S community at large. In
other cases, he encourages an established manufacturer to produce it
and might provide drawings and photographs, solicit orders, etc.
Some folks write magazine articles with complete parts lists and
instructions and photographs. In other cases, such as this one, he
might show folks how to modify products from other scales to fit
right in with an S scale layout. Not "pathetic" at all. I would
prefer to call it "creative". And, to make things worse, I prefer to
put the "model" back into model railroading. "Buying and running"
are fine, but that is somewhat different than model railroading -- at
least in my dictionary. Even more worse, we all knew what S scale
offered -- and didn't offer -- when we joined up. So there should
not be any surprises or complaints about what is not available. But
that is just me and we all have our own individual ways of looking at
these situations. Others are free to disagree. Cheers...Ed L.
