I've only been in S scale for less than two years, but most commercial lumbering models seem to be Sn3, and as with most things, the selection of prototypes is more limited than in other scales (no disconnects that I am aware of). PBL, not surprisingly, has produced most of the Sn3, not only Shays (so far apparently mostly WSL prototypes) but a WSL Heisler and WSL ex-Swayne log buggies. Rio Grande Models offers WSL and Swayne prototypes, including several of the cabooses. V&T (now owned by Keith Wiseman) offered several variations of kit to rebuild the MDC HO Shay for S and Sn3, as well as a conversion kit for the AHM Heisler. Backwoods Miniatures had a fairly expensive (although not to be compared with PBL locomotive prices) brass kit for an Sn3 small Climax, which I believe is now discontinued. I just bought a Heisler conversion kit (now I need to find a reasonably-priced AHM) and am awaiting eagerly an Overland Mich-Cal Sn3 two-truck Shay I just bought from another list member. There are doubtless other lumbering models in S that I've either overlooked or wasn't aware of.
