Most of the scale modelers on the S scale Facebook group are saying that "S scale" is going back to its "scratch builder" roots. That doesn't particularly interest me.
Of that we can agree on.
While this is really the subject for another thread, the push by some of the scale guys to return to the "scratch builders scale" mantra is model railroading suicide in this day and age. I would rather see 10 people get into S using Flyer or HiRail than wait for 1 scratchbuilder to enter the scale.
I would hope that someone comes up with a scale wheel conversion for these Berkshires, but if not: Them's the breaks.
If I ever tear down tear down and replace the Great Plywood Glacier, HiRail is a definite possibility. I've got plenty of wheels in stock to convert most of my scale stuff. It'd be nice to run my Flyer Mike's, Pacific's, Challenger and Y3 without slapping an oval of track on the floor.
