You're right Bert. I have received much more polite and constructive responses from those other groups. I will not discuss these topics on this group anymore. But let me ask one last question... How are my questions about S scale track and flanges less valid in an S scale forum than your comments about O scale? Do you own any S? I am new to S, but I have dropped several thousand dollars in the last two months. So I'm pretty sure I am doing my part to "back it up". Why S gaugers can't come together and coexist for the betterment of the entire scale is beyond me. Petty people and simple minds are more powerful than the potential good that can be done by working together and appreciating each other I guess. Whatever... I think I will go visit those other groups.

Gentleman, I thought this group was for scale. There already is a flyer ,High rail group, why not keep toys where they belong., I was just at the O scale National and I did not see toys. No Lionel or 3 rail track but I did see the same problems where the vendors outnumber the customers, at least the O scale guys were spending money. As far as I am concerned Scale is the only chance for your survival. It's not toys. Lionel finally woke up and started making 1/4 scale trains but they still use crummy couplers and wheels to go with the track. They had to compete with MTH. MTH is also waking up and going to start producing more 2 rail. S scale is still the greatest scale in size and handling, It is just a shame you people won't bet in there and back it up.
