Didn't work that way for me. I am a steam only, scale only guy that came to S before there was an SHS 2-8-0 or AM Pacific. I saw the 3/16 Scale Railroading magazine, and when I learned there was one steam locomotive kit available, I decided I would give S a try. When I saw that the standard wheel was RP-25, much closer to P64 than P87, I plunged in. Never even gave hi-rail a thought.
