The NMRA does offer an Sn3 gage, but not a standard S gauge gage.  One reason 
for that is because the gage is already available from the NASG.  I don't see 
why that makes the NMRA a bad monster.  Why duplicate something that already 
exists and perhaps take the profits away from NASG?  

Years ago, I suggested NASG sell the standard gauge gage to the NMRA for resale 
to their members.  To the best of my knowledge, which could be incomplete, I 
don't think anyone from NASG approached the NMRA with that proposal.  

However, I seem to recall a recent announcement that the NMRA and the NASG will 
swap gages to each other so that both organizations can benefit by selling both 
gages.  Sounds like a reasonably decent cooperative arrangement to me.

Just a thought....Ed L.
