Any chance of seeing an "S Gauge" layout in CCT soon? There hasn't been a S Gauge layout feature for several issues now. The 3 rail features are wonderful, and I understand that much of your subscriber base must be 3 rail, but I believe that there must be one or two S Gauge layouts worthy of a write up in CTT.
PSSST, Joe. THEY get touchy about this sort of thread. We might want to leave the subject alone for awhile. Just say'n.
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
It isn't a question of THEY getting touchy. The thread was started in April and pretty much everything that could be said was said.

I am not trying to do a instant replay, but it begs the question of why not have let it die of natural causes like other long lived threads? It seems odd but it isnt the end of the world as we know it. Cest La Vie. Locking it gave the impression to me as well that it touched a raw nerve ending somehow, rightly or wrongly
Life goes on..a tempest in a teapot.
Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.
People can still read it, and it had died on its own. It we were that thin skinned, I'd have deleted it.
Thanks for writing and sharing your question about S gauge layouts in "Classic Toy Trains." I am constantly striving to find and showcase the best S gauge and O gauge layouts out there. There are only a couple of layout articles on deck--meaning, the manuscript and photos are ready to be published. We will publish them this year.
In the meantime, if you have an S gauge layout with scenery or know of one--please contact me. That is the best way for us to learn about layouts. You can always send me an email at the magazine or call me direct: 262-796-8776 ext. 253.
Thanks,

Bob has been a very fair board moderator, but some of us S gaugers are a little thin skinned. I am in complete agreement with Bob that there really wasn't anything more to say.
Having said that, having a thread about S gauge locked by a moderator calling himself the "O Gauge Overlord" doesn't have "good optics" as the political types are prone to say.

Now now, as an old Air Force missle man the O Gauge Overlord has a good grasp of when to use the "Nuclear Option" and when not to. I trust his judgement.
Me? I'm just an old Marine. All I know how to do is fix a bayonet and charge! Low tech, but it DOES get the point across, no pun intended.

Why Yes they are. CTT might be doing an articular on Lee McCarty's layout which is really outstanding. Pics of his layout are on the CVSGA web page.
Oh yes, I took all the pics.
