I started in HO in 1971. I looked at S scale in the late 70's and decided that I liked the size. But I was afraid it would die out and I would have trouble getting basic items like trucks, brake wheels, etc. So I went with O scale. In 1993 I revisited that decision and decided that S was viable so I switched. Now that I have retired and moved into my retirement home I plan to start my 3rd S layout this fall. Paul Tenney
