I often wonder where N-N-Nothing and Z-Z-Z scale would be if their
proponents had to fight as hard for recognition as S scale has to. Or,
for that matter, HO, if the powers that be had decided to promote OO
or TT, instead.
On the other hand, I have written, and had published, several articles
dealing with S scale in MR and other publications, including one that
used the products of one manufacturer exclusively but even our own
community failed to recognize them to any extent, so why should anyone
else care?
What is it Pogo the Possum used to say, "We have met the enemy, and it
is us!"?
