just for fun I checked the ebay model railroading listings and came up with
79,633 O listings and 7,353 S listings or about 10 to 1. A search for O
boxcars with buy it now turned up 8,759 possibilities with the cheapest scale
car at $15 for an atlas /roco 40 footer then a weaver 50 footer for $25.99. A
comparable boxcar search in S scale turned up 509 hits with cheapest scale car
being a 50 foot PRS kit for $27.95 and next an American models 40 footer for
$35. So you can see what S is up against when trying to attract new
modelers...DaveBranum
