Looks fantastic, Ed! My initial reaction is that you guys have brought
“3/16ths “S”cale Railroading” into the 21st century, but I an even better way,
because the web exposure (and the price) is sure to benefit S scale by exposing
new people to S, and by helping those who are currently floundering to find
their bearings. That’s what “3/16ths” did for me in the last century, anyway.
I look forward to exploring the site some more!

Subject: {S-Scale List} NEW NMRA S scale SIG
From: Pieter Roos
I note that the long-dormant S Scale SIG from NMRA has been revived.

Hello Pieter….
Just a note for clarification. The NEW NMRA S Sig is not related in any way to
the OLD long-dormant Bendever-led SIG which is still dormant and perhaps dead
by now. The old Sig has not been revived, but there is a new S kid on the
block.
Interestingly, the new S Sig’s URL was discovered by a few Google searchers
before it was ready for public launching. So there are still some pages under
construction and some imperfections here and there. But there are lots of
photos, an S video show, a statement of Mission, a conversational Forum, a
mentor program and other stuff. All of which is rather interesting to put it
mildly. The primary focus of this new S Sig is to recruit scale modelers from
the NMRA (and other places) and to provide a “home” for existing S scale guys
(and gals, if any).
I suspect most serious S scale guys will enjoy seeing what the new S Sig has to
offer and participating in it. Since it was prematurely found, not all the
ducks are quite in a row (yet), but progress is being made. The S Sig is free
and there is no need to be a member of any group to join up. Folks are slowly
starting to drift in and join us, but our launch and recruitment efforts are
still in the embryonic stage.
See you there.
