Hi Ed, I have a similar history. I would still be happily modeling
O scale if I wanted to maintain a large barn for a layout. I'm hoping
I can build a nice S scale retirement layout in about a 24 by 24 foot
room and enjoy the comforts of the house.
I agree the internet and ebay are great resources for an S scale
modeler, in fact the closing of local hobby shops might benefit S
scale by leveling the playing field of availability? If everyone can
choose from the same online menu containing S scale along with the
other more popular choices then S might gain some new faces. I do my
part by pointing out the advantages of S size to everyone I know. I'm
not an evangilical and am not gaugecentric, I just hope that more S
scalers will get us more new models, I'm tired of the same old steam
era stuff, I want to move my railroad into the last half of the 20th
century!! ....dave
