I would enjoy seeing more articles in S and other minotity scales and gauges.

MR should indulge those who appreciate S scale. The audience for S may be smaller, but it is model railroading! I would enjoy seeing more articles on S scale personally.

I subscribe to S Gaugian but it's bi-monthly and quite pricey in my opinion. I feel MR dosen't really acknowlege "S".

As an S scaler I would love to see more articles in S scale. But as others noted, someone has to write and submit the articles. Classic Toy Trains is where most of the S scale items get reviewed, since the two biggest lines American Models and Showcase do both scale and hirail for their products. One of the things I like though is the number of drawings that get done in S scale. (not as many as there used to be)
Enjoy

Matt;

I am sure that they will be happy to have some submitted by you.

MR and the other magazines can only publish what is submitted. Also, note that there are a couple magazines dedicated to S scale, and they most likely are the first choice for dedicated S scalers.

They can only review what is released, and S scale isn't very widespread

Other than occasional new "S" Items it's never included. I would love to see more S articles.
