Are you S Guage or S Standard Gauge and does the height of the rail determine whether you are or are not scale? The below text (actually taken out of context) caused me to think, why do S-folks use the term S Guage? FWIM HO Scalers do not call other HO Scalers who run their model trains on Code 100 (or bigger) track "Hi-Railers" like the S-folks do. Yes, I understand that the flanges are really wide on them AF , but have you seen the flanges on a Model Power unit? Perhaps this is indigenous to S-scale (& O scale, too?). Why do folks use the term S Guage? I have been called on the carpet for using S Guage in reference to AF modelers and if I have offended anyone, I sincerely apologize. After all, the majority of our "1:64 Modeling Guide" subscribers come from an AF background with aspirations of evolving to a more "scale-like" empire. And if you decide that the term "S Guage should no longer be used, would Don H. need to changer his magazine to the S Scaleian? I realize that all this may sould rediculous to many of you, but think how confusing it is to us newbies who come to S-ville from another scale only to find out that now up means down and so on. Structure determines behavior.
