Uncle Ed, this sounds great. It must be a Pennsy layout? I have heard this is the standard S railroad of the world (though I know this is not true). - Earl Henry, Nashville In a message dated 9/11/2008 2:55:06 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
So much for the bad news -- now for some good news: The next issue, MR November '08, will have a very nice S article with lots of photos of a well known scale layout. Plan to get one and look it over (or use the library like some cheap guys I know). You will see near-scale couplers, beautiful scenery, scratchbuilt structures, interesting operations for a specific industry, everything weathered, mention of plastic and brass S models and some minor promotion of S scale in the text. A good showing of the scale side of our chosen proportions of 1:64. No mention of AF at all. For those of you who think our own COUPLER KING is pushing the envelope, lemmee tell ya that Kadee is doing some envelope expanding also. An announcement for a Kadee box car with a working cushion underframe caught my eye. Heck, if they can do that in HO, it ought to be a slam dunk for S scale. A new challenge for Jim King after he is finished with the rotating end caps on roller bearing trucks. Sure glad Jim likes challenges or else we'd still be without his neat products. Time now to return to layout building in the other room. Big open house on the 21st to get ready for. Cheers....Ed L. **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?
