Hi Ed, sorry to interrupt the conversation, but I went and read the first two pages of the 2012 AF catalog. Lionel clearly states the difference between their S gauge AF and their new S scale AF stuff, so ya got me a bit confused. Lionel states "In the new American Flyer S Scale line, locos and cars are made to be as exact as possible to 1:64 scale". How is this any different from what SHS goals were, or even AM or any of us for that matter?
As you know I am still very new to this scale and I am not trying to be argumentative, just trying to learn. You stated "There is a significant terminology differential here which can be quite confusing to the uninitiated". Yep, I'm confused again. If you have an opportunity, can you please explain the specific differences you are alluding to. Feel free to respond off list if that is more convenient for this discussion. As always, thank you for your time, you have been a great teacher about this scale. Scott Huston, las Vegas Nevada. ________________________________
