Hi Ed: The problem is the gauge. The truck tuner is designed to fit into both journals - even as it clears out one at a time - so that it's held perpendicular to the journal it's clearing. This also makes it easy to control the depth of the cut. Yes, the HO truck-tuner could be used - one would need to cut it in half and add a piece of brass tubing to it, and regauge/epoxy the two pieces of the truck-tuner in place. But easier - and probably more accurate - to have someone in the know machine one specifically for S. - Trevor --- Trevor Marshall Port Rowan in 1:64 I model a steam-era Canadian National branch line terminal in S scale, and blog about it here: http://themodelrailwayshow.com/cn1950s The Model Railway Show Listen in as two S scalers (and recovering radio newscasters) host a podcast about the hobby: http://www.themodelrailwayshow.com ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
