I have been in S scale all my life, starting the transition to scale in the 
late 50s when about the only thing available was Rex and Perma-bilt.  I saw the 
small S availability as nearly a way to keep from getting overloaded with 
common stuff.  I also model Rock Island, and was the only one doing RI and S 
scale for a long time, so it seems.  Nearly everything I could get had to be 
reworked in some way.  
 
I see a short-term problem here that does not need a long-term solution.  My 
handicap is now being unable to accomplish much because of my recent 
limitations.

Dave,
At this point, I'm considering dumping the entire mess on eBay and going back 
to HO or O scale...or wait to see what MTH and Lionel offer for an S scale 
switcher...or purchase a SHS loco via eBay...or take up another hobby.

Most likely I'll send the wheelsets back to Ron at American Models. No sense 
torturing Dave at NWSL with this nonsense.
