Ed,

The short answer to his question is NO.  The short answer to his question is 
NO.  That's certainly an inspiring answer.  

Now lets give him an alternative.

The long answer is that others who have worked in S scale were able to succeed 
in spite of the lack of those specifics components.  What you may not realize 
is that Bill's build of the GP30 was very similar to the process of utilizing 
Cannon panels.  Bill, utilizing styrene, made his own panels, cabs and so on - 
a little scribing and some pretty fancy knuckle busters (door latches) and he 
built the engine in a very similar method as the use of Cannon prefinished 
panels.  It obviously took a little more time than purchasing the panels but 
the point that I was trying to make to Michael was simply that if you can 
assemble the Cannon panel you can take the next step and make you own panels.  
If you never read that series maybe you should take a moment and look at it.  

If the person is new to S scale I would always suggest that he should take a 
moment and explore what others have done and were successful at.  It may 
inspire that person jump into the deep end of the pool and give scratch 
building a try - or it may deter him - either way he received a suggestion.  

Lastly, I'm pretty sure that if he doesn't have access to those magazines there 
are people on this list that might consider scanning them and sending to him if 
he was interested and made the request.
