Then I noticed an ad in Model Railroader  for an American Models FP7--the first F unit I ever saw in our scale! AM had boxcars and gondolas, too, and they had free running wheels with actual springs in the trucks.  The quality and variety in even those early stages is what drove me back to 1/64 scale instead of flunking out to the easier HO camp.

You can blame American Models and the FP7 for getting me into S Scale around 85/86.  Otherwise I would have stayed in HO.

Here's the fist ad I could locate for AM.  June 1982 Model Railroader:

S Scale has never been the same since.
