thanks Andre, and to all, I really believe that the S-scalers are an above average welcoming lot of folks....who have conquered the hi-rail/scale/American Flyer issues long before the O scalers did... and manufacturers have supported both camps (which hopefully means a long life instead of a flash in the pan!)....
now I just have to plan really well, as the more I look at what is available, the more I'm sold on S (besides the Newfoundland operations at Port Aux Basques). those standard pullmans look really nice, anyone have any CN ones they'd like to part with? ...although I'm not sure if I shouldn't just break down and get a 4-8-4 in Santa Fe and hope for some chair cars to come out in a few years, eh?
