When it comes to converting people from other scales, the AF association is a
definitely a problem. I have known people who were contemplating the change to
S but the AF association turned them off, at least that's what they told me.
This is a much greater problem than the name of the organization; although the
use of gauge can be easily construed to preclude those who don't model standard
gauge because they are technically not modeling in S gauge.
IMHO, the best way to build highly detailed models, modules, and layouts and
have then seen by others. Let's face it, the main advantage of S is its size.
Big enough to have a presence that smaller scales can't at our normal indoor
layout viewing distances, but small enough that the buildings and other
structures don't get so huge like in O scale.
If I followed my own words, I should be in the basement instead of on this
computer.
Please note that I don't have any personal antagonism to AF. In fact, I still
have my childhood AF, but none of it will ever be on my layout.
