Michael,
I am in S Scale for 24 years now. Never once did I think about changing scales. I have said the following here and other places many times. >>S Scale is not supposed to be easy.<< HO = "How Ordinary" that has become a group of buyers not modelers. Almost every major class of PRR steam loco is now available in plastic. Unless the packaging it really difficult taking it out of the box does not qualify as modeling. S Scale fits me in many ways. It IS limiting. I caught the brass bug a few hours after switching to S from HO in 1987. You could see a **few** shelves in my basement filled with "there is nothing made in S Scale". I think I have a reasonable collection and I did not make it all myself chiseling trains from bricks. Others **did** make a few things. Some of my trains can be seen here: http://youtu.be/699NBq3WCFA S Scale falls right into my life's motto of "Dare to be Different". With the exception of my immediate area where there are 2 other S SCALE layouts close by, I would likely be the only S layout on a local layout tour crawl. I answered your query in an honest manner - pointing out **was** available in diesel details and components. Wasn't that the intent of your question? Sorry if it was not sufficient. Is the an equivalent to Cannon in N or O Scale? It does not appear that Cannon makes anything but HO. So if the fact that there is no direct equivalent to Cannon in S makes you want to hit the exit door running - well sorry you did not sit down and stay longer. I don't sulk about not having the items I really need for my most wanted projects. I make them myself. Some call it modeling. I just use Solidworks to do it! http://www.lanestrains.com/SolidWorks_Modeling.htm http://www.lanestrains.com/S_Scale_Container.jpg http://www.lanestrains.com/Roof_Vent.jpg http://www.lanestrains.com/Roof_Vent_Master.jpg http://www.lanestrains.com/Reading_Coach.jpg Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy & PRSL in 1957 in S Scale since 1988 See my finished models at: <http://www.lanestrains.com/> http://www.lanestrains.com Look at what has been made in PRR in S Scale!
