In my suggestion about home page organization, I was intentionally trying to avoid the phrase "S scale", or "O scale" etc because of the multitude of meanings.
I have no problem with just the letter but I think that makes too small of a target for clicking.... unless a larger image could be used such as a graphic rectangle with just the letter on it. If we place the scale such as 1:64, that is ok too, but doesn't that get sticky with other scales? Doesn't O scale have 2 or 3 versions? If there is a better phrase for the BIG stuff, that is good too. I just do not think that the tinplate and scale links should be on the first page. I still believe in the symbol for the NASG and that keeps the AF/hirail/scale folks together under the "S" symbol. (Sorry to those of you who have recently wandered over to S and are irritated with the existence of the AF community. Without them... S would be dead.) Someone wiser and more experienced than me should wave their all-encompassing wand and make a decision, so that we can move on.
