. . . . . . . . . . . Only RTR with giant couplers is available from those 
firms [ SHS, AM, DPH, etc.]these days unless you want to modify their 
standard products to become scale compatible . . . . . . . . . . . .. I

This is erroneous with respect to American Models, Iron Rail Models, and 
maybe some DPH items too.   When one buys AM cars & locos, one specifys 
high-rail or scale.  They don't give you both types of wheels.  I think the 
ratio is something like 80-20.

. . . . I keep hearing of new clubs that are taking the hi-rail route for 
their modular display layouts.. . . . . . . . . .

The Southeastern Michigan S Gaugers have a three track show layout with one 
track running scale only and two tracks scale or high-rail, thanks to "Tom's 
Turnouts" universal frogs.

. . . . .  I don't recall hearing of any brand new S scale clubs (code 100 
rail or smaller) in recent years with a sizeable scale modular display 
layout.. . . . . . . .

Dave, Dale, & Terry of Owosso & Lansing Michigan have a good size strictly 
scale layout.
