Seriously, I wish the AF guys all the fun in the world playing with  
their toy of choice and trying to maintain AC Gilbert's legacy in the  
vintage toy/train collecting world but, it's got nothing to do with me  
and I couldn't care less about it.  Nor do I want to see it, hear it,  
smell it or discuss it on the S Scale group.  John Armstrong asked how  
many of us are under 60 the other day.  Well John, I'm 50 years your  
junior so consider me the tail wagging the S Scale dog.  Forget  
succumbing to negative group think.  The future of S is what we make  
of it.  I don't feel like I owe a debt of gratitude to or have to  
humor the AF guys or anyone else.  I see 1:64th scale modeling as  
entirely separate from and moving in a totally different direction  
than vintage train collectors/operators.  Our motto back in my SeaBee  
days was "Can Do" (well there was that "We Build, We Fight" part but  
it may not pertain to this discussion.)  S scale "Can Do".  We just  
have to get out there and do it - make our own future.
