Chad, Good to hear from you :)
I am not aware of any S modelers in your immediate area, but our Kansas City S Gaugers group has a member in Topeka and I think one in Wichita. There a the Mid America Toy and Train show tin KC that we usually all attend and set up one of our 4x8 layouts. The next show is scheduled for November 30, not the ideal being over the Thanksgiving holiday, and it would be a hike from Ft. Riley. There are usually around 200 tables at the November show and always some S plus a great variety of everything else. And it would be an opportunity to meet some of the the S guys from the area. With cheer :) Roy Inman From: daddy2cassandra <[email protected]> Reply-To: S-Scale <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:42:11 +0000 To: S-Scale <[email protected]> Subject: {S-Scale List} Newbie with questions Hello, I have been a lurker on the list for quite a while, just never said hello. My availability to read the list varies as I'm in the Army. 1/64th is the scale that interests me; my kids have started to show to an interest in the HO starter set they received last Christmas. Currently located in central Kansas. We have a very large amount of 1/64th farm equipment and buildings that I'm thinking could get some double usage. I relatively new to trains had a small HO set as a kid but nothing more than that, grew up in SW Minnesota around trains but never paid then much attention. I'm looking for input on some ideas. I don't have the intention of modeling any specific train line but would like to have a rural Midwest feel. What I'm thinking is to do a Sn42?(S equipment on HO track) set up which I think would give me result that would look ok with the 1/64th items we have already. I can picture some flat cars with tractors on them, and an old cattle car for some beef. It would also allow the kids to run the HO stuff we have and any HO stuff they think looks cool. HO track is readily available in this area. I `m thinking that I would be able to use some S items, On30 and maybe some larger HO items to get the look I want. I have found an older list of usable items from other scales for S on trainweb. Part of this is meant to be a family fun project and not a pocket book killer. Does this seem like an achievable project? Has anyone done anything similar to this? Is there a more up to date list than the trainweb one? Also are there any S scale modelers in Kansas, particularly the Ft. Riley/Junction City area?
