I don't recall the percentage numbers but let's say they are something like
30% N, 50% HO, 2 % S, 10% O, and 8 % the others.
Now since S is between HO and O on the size spectrum and since things usually
distribute towards the median the percentages if all the scales had the same
supply and demand situation should look more like 25% N, 40% HO,20% S, and 8% O
shouldn't they? If the median shifts smaller or larger S is still in the fat
part of the curve so should never be less popular than O scale.
I've always maintained that S has a problem of supply and demand and not a
problem of size so just correcting the distribution curve would be a huge
improvement in the economy of scale in S's favor...DaveBranum
