[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by IRONROOSTER [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by JPM335 S scale is a good compromise, the problem is there isnt much available and you would find yourself building a lot of things from scratch.

My layout has a double track mainline, several engines and cars, none of which is scratch built. Code 100 flex track and turnouts are available, many diesels, cars and buildings. The steam situation is a little thin but its improving. This site http://www.trainweb.org/crocon/sscale.html gives a pretty good idea of what's available. It just isn't carried in a lot of hobby stores. While every scale has pluses and minuses, having to scratch build anything is S scale is not one of them. I would recommend this scale to anyone who finds HO a little too small. The kits are more fun to build with bigger pieces and the layout is easier to build than HO. With all the RTR in S it's easy to get started without having to even build a kit. [8D][8D] Enjoy Paul [/quote] wow, i didnt know there was so much available in S. All i had seen so far was 1 display at 1 train show with a couple of engines and maybe a dozen cars. Learn something every day[;)]
