From: Alan Lambert They had to fill the gap somehow. Not enough adds from the SCALE Proto 64 side To justfy scale only article. They went where the main s scale market is. The highrailer. Just my thoughts, Not an opinion. Thanks, Alan

JWDPremium also had two separate ads. The over-all effect suffers though from what I'll call the "NASG Syndrome," the philosophy that scale modelling and tin-plate collecting are equally valid and very similar pursuits. Of course they are, from a broader pespective. But RMC is a SCALE model publication. It really should have taken the pro-scale position. I wouldn't expect to read an S gauge article in Classic Toy Trains that went into the pros and cons of code 110 vs code 125 wheels. This article could have touched on things like that. Today's S scaler really doesn't need to know that AF had a "latch-type coupler" from 1946 to 1950. I counted 10 cars & locos in ads and other pictures with AF-size knuckle couplers, and one with the link or latch couplers. But I think we're safe from another thread going on and on about this RMC pull-out by the fact that few of us subscribe to RMC.
