From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas Tom, I agree with you. I thought Our scale was 3/16=1 foot. or 1/64th, No I'm stopping right there. I think I just covered This subject under one roof. Can we get along with each other, besides the word United is on the NASG patch I have on my club shirt. I think it covers everyone on this list that are not members of the NASG. That is the one thing that bugs me that we will never know. "How many on this S-Scale yahoo group belong to the NASG. Alan Lambert

I just ran the NASG constitution & by-laws thru a word search in my word processor, and neither the word American nor Flyer occur in either document. Where you do find the term "American Flyer" is on the cover of the Dispatch. But anyone who says S Gauge have a scale versus highrail (includes AF) conflict has not given the matter much thought. We are a "house divided," but the real cleft is between railroad modelling and toy train collecting, not differing track & wheel standards. In other words, if my prototype is the 2013 Norfolk Southern and his prototype is the 1950 American Flyer catalog, we are not going to have much in common. We all need to be a little nicer to each other these days, in many ways. And we can try to accommodate each other in our organizations. But denying the existence of differences, or misidentifying them, will get us no where. Tom Hawley -- Lansing Michigan
