It still depends on what kind of modeling you want to do. If most of the
stuff is available to create the railroad you want then S can be a great scale
to work with. If you want everything that HO and N has then you will not be
happy. Don't worry about the discussions, focus on the hardware. Draw up a plan
of the layout you'd like to build and then check the supply of the things
needed and see how it fits. If it don't work the first time tweak the design a
bit to fit the supply and see if you still want to build it. Keep your design
goals realistic from a size and complication standpoint remembering that in all
scales you still gotta build all that scenery it don't build it's self, and 200
or 300 freight cars in HO or N still need assembly, weathering and maintenance.
If you already have an era and style of layout in mind the list members here
probably already know the supply situation so run it by them. I'd say 1950-1970
would be a piece of cake for almost any scenario and getting more difficult the
more one moves forward or backward from there, I don't know if the others will
agree with me though :>) ...DaveBranum
