I became interested in narrow gauge in the mid-70's while I was in my early 20's, and after growing up with AF, like the size of Sn3. So I bought some Tomalco and RGM Sn3 kits and a Tomalco/PFM 2-8-0, which was my start into the S scale other than AF. The S standard gauge came later after I wanted some rolling stock for a (non-operating) standard gauge interchange on a Sn3 layout. Since then I've accumulated more standard gauge equipment, so this time it is operational, but the emphasis is still on narrow gauge.

Hey y'all, With all the talk about American Models being the Athearn Blue Box equivalent and the need to introduce new modelers to S scale, I'm wondering how many folks on this list got their start in S scale model railroading? I'm particularly interested in the responses of those who have operating S scale layouts. And what I mean is that the first SCALE model train you bought was 1:64 proportions (Flyer as a kid doesn't count). My guess is that S scale was a secondary scale modeling choice for many of us. If that's the case, shouldn't our product lines appeal more to the experienced modeler than the newbie? Stirring the pot, Rhett Graves Starkville, MS ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
