Are there other model railroaders out there who model in "Scale," S, that is, with correct profile rail, ties, and wheel flanges (No American Flyer or "Hi-rail").  "Scale" S is one of the best scales out there, especially for modules, but also for home layouts, because of the natural nature of the scaling, the size of the equipment, the ubiquity of correct size rail for the scale (code 100, 83, & 70).  I am grateful for American Flyer having established the basic scale, but with the movement in the past many years towards more accurate scaling, far more precision is needed than is provided by AF for one who is interested in more than "toy trains," particiualarly for track and wheels.The NASG (National Association of S Gaugers) is somewhat of a rallying point for "Scale" S gaugers, but because the majority of NASG members are interested in AF or "Hi-rail" S, the "scale" S focus is greatly diluted, and serves also to isolate "Scale" S gaugers somewhat from the rest of the model railroading community.  Hence my participation in the NMRA.  Drop me a line if you are a modeler in, or even interested in "Scale" S.   <a href="mailto:prattjw@mail.manti.com">prattjw@mail.manti.com</a> John P
