Hello I haven´t see in my hands any model in s scale beyond some collectables American Flyers in my city Sao Paulo in Brazil. I have some doubts about the scale fidelity of American models products. My main objective its to have ready to run (or kits eventually) train running smooth and with suspension in locomotive and all wagons. The modern train like CSX SD-60 pulling the AM Spinal cars, BTS 89' Flatcars and S Scale America Huscky Starks is what I´m thinking.
- The SD60 (I see in am site) has suspension, but its well detailed like the Athearn, Atlas and PROTO 2000, counterparts? - The BTS still offer the 89' flat car (whats the correct SHS trucks for them?)? - There´s a SHS locomotive or another maker in S scale with suspension? - The railmaster hobbies (http://www.railmasterhobbies.com/loco.htm) offer a version of RS-3, is a better aproach than AM? There´s a plenty of reference to American Flyers that I never know if the S scale product that I look have satisfatory standarts. I Also have another trains in my list like: A - the 16 budd cars and GG-1 Congressional, B - NYC J3 Hudson matching budd cars (how many cars where used on the Empire State Express?), I have see in the americanmodels site that the budd cars aren´t scale, so Kaslo Shops will make the budd cars? Someone have something to talks about AM heavywheight cars? I don´t know if it matters but I´ll use Sergent couplers and NWSL p64 wheels, there´s some store that I can buy all at once to save me Shipping expences? Thank you all for patience. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
