Bill, I second your comments, and I also enjoyed the article by Vic Cherven in the same issue about the Inland Empire S Gauge Association of the Pacific Northwest, a pioneer S club started in 1967 by Jess Bennett, Ernie Horr and others. This is of particular interest to me since I have recently moved to the Northwest.
Just glancing through some older "S Gaugian"s, I noticed several more cover shots by Richard Arsenault that are also very nice artistically. Incidentally, they reveal what appears to be American Models track, and one of them was from 2001! Perhaps the AF turnout on the 2008 cover photo predates the 2001 shot, and Richard is on the path to trackwork acceptability <g>. I also liked the cover photo on the Sept/Oct. 2007 issue showing Bob Hogan's beautiful SP engine facilities; all code 100 track.

Rusty took and disected early S scale locomotive power. The Miller Labratories switcher and the Super Scale version, plus the Stinson and Nord companies Mikado and Consolidation locomotives. In the end, Rusty asked us for more ideas for his columns. Rusty stay on that track, there is so much early days scale stuff to write about you should never run out of material. Perhaps all of us out here can send Rusty (material) images, or loan him a piece of early equipment to dissect? River Raisen has a great page of new Brass for you to purchase and run; John Huster has 10 new RTR box cars to purchase, not sure if they have scale wheel sets, but you can purchase and "Chop!"; and Richard Arsenault's (Part II) article on his Southern Cascade Line is also of interest, giving us ideas on setting up trackside scenery. I also wanted to mention that the S gaugian's November-December 2007 issue's front page has a real neat Arsenault cover photo and his article is also well done. The model photography is also excellent! Have a great day, Bill [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
