We can co-exist... as long as the rest of the world knows that AF does NOT represent the best (or most) that S scale has to offer (which is what nearly EVERY other non S scale MRR enthusiast I have ever mentioned S to has immediately thought). And I, as a scale modeler, don't have any such "dream" as you suggest.
As for those AF layouts you have seen at shows... what were the AGES of those who owned/operated those layouts? Were there any young (new generation) enthusiasts behind the helm? If not... then werer do YOU think these layouts will be when the older generations who own them are no longer with us? Think about it...

Wishful thinking for sure, but why that wish? I don't understand why is it that so many "scalers" have the same dream that all high railers and Flyer hobbyists should just go away and leave them and the magazines and manufacturers that serve both segments of the S hobby to the advancement of the "pure" form of S. Why can't we simply co-exist? The product demand we generate certainly brings you products which you can use, albeit with some modification. By the way, on the West Coast, I have never seen a scale S display, but I have seen plenty of highrail layouts at shows.
