S Scale is 1.36 times the size of HO, so the S Scale 22-1.2 "minimum" quoted in the brochure works out to 16-1/2 inch radius in HO. I guess Kalmbach hasn't updated itself from the days of the Rex 0-4-0T.
Bob, you left out TT for Too Tiny. How about Half Offal for HO? regards ... pqr ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Nicholson To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2008 5:32 AM Subject: {S-Scale List} Re: New coupler issue --- In [email protected], "ed_loizeaux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just read through Kalmbach's new brochure INTRODUCTION TO MODEL > RAILROADING (a supplement to Model Railroader magazine) in which they > claim the minimum radius for S scale is 22-1/2 inches.

I remember a crusty old timer years ago referring to Z scale as Z-Z-Z-Z, N, as "N"othing, HO as "H"ow "O"rdinary, and O as "O"bnoxious. He never mentioned S, which I assume could only be "S"uperior. I think he worked in OO ("O"h-"O"h) scale Bob Nicholson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
