Bill:
Just a minor point of clarification... The NASG standards were adopted
in 1981, I think the Big Boy came a few years after (1983?). Overland
also built their first S scale model, the SD40-2, in 1983 using the
NMRA wheel standards.
Don Thompson and Wayne Pier did a lot of "proselytizing" with each new
manufacturer/ builder to have subsequent models built to the NASG
dimensions. I know OMI did; I have no recollection as to how Sunset
responded.
