Hi Trevor, That's why I think your layout will do a lot to attract the
attention of modelers in other scales. Your focus is building a top quality
layout with no compromises or connection to Flyer roots so folks will see that
S is a legitimate scale not just a stepchild of a toy train line. Just getting
people to look at S as a modeling scale equal to the others is a big deal when
it comes to future growth, a lot of the problem is psychological, people just
don't believe S is for real so anything that gives them faith is huge.
For years ED L and Roger Nulton have been setting the stage so I'm glad to
see others are building on their strong base.
I also think layouts like the Shabbona make a big impression as people can see
that S is great for those who want to emphasize the operations and railroadness
of a layout using readily available equipment in a creative manner, it's a
pretty common scheme in HO but most S scalers haven't gotten it down like Bob
has.Regards, DaveBranum
