Bill, If you haven't noticed, they also left out G, TT and Z. As I read the
article, it's geared for the newbie and what he could easily find in the local
hobby shop, not as a treatise on all the scales available in model railroading.
Iron Rail and Scenery Unlimited products are mentioned in the "News and

I guess we should brace ourselves for another round of the "Kalmbach
