I find it interesting that Mr. Heimberger has divided his little
magazine empire by putting NG in one pub and Standard Gauge in the
other, while 1/64's are separated scale from the hirail crowd very much
like 3/16's, and two version of the Modeler's guide under Wade and
Bendever\ before that. Unfortunately none of these magazines except the
S Gaugian and the Sn3 modeler can generally be seen in the hobby shops.
Kalmbach also has done that with MR vs Classic Toy trains vs their large
scale Garden Railways. So generally have left the the narrow gauge only
segment to a token representation.
I think it's a matter of where one places his money when it comes to
publication and memberships, as we see this happening when it comes to
memberships also. If you belong to the NMRA + NASG + a couple of
historical societies + RMC/MR + 1/64's + the S gaugian, your talking a
big chunk of the modeling dollar. A rough estimate for these items
could easily be around $400! I've paid less for some brass during the
'brass age" in S scale history.
