I'll be;

Thank you very much Dick for the assistance in finding
this.

I had tried the Kalmbach index, but I searched on
"Titman, Frank" and found only 12 articles, this was
not among them. Turns out you need to search on
"Titman, Frank R." to find 28 MORE articles.

I should now be able to find the issue among the many
S Gaugians in the in my collection.

I have looked through quite a number of S magazines in
my searching for this article, including S Gaugian.
Without actually compiling a count, I would have to
say that there is at LEAST as much scale content in
the typical issue of S Gaugian as in the recent
Dispatches or the classic S Gauge Heralds. The
aggregate S scale content over the many years of
production probably exceeds the total scale content of
"S 3/16ths Scale", "S/Sn3 Modelers Guide" and its
current incarnation as "1/64 Modelers Guide" and all
the Heralds combined.

My point being, we as scalers tend to give Heimberger
and the S Gaugian a bum rap.

Thanks again for your help.
