Over the past five decades I've had over a dozen permanent layouts in N, HO and 3 Rail O gauge. Bought a new home in the 90's and attended a Greenburg train show shortly there after. Mike Wolf was there displaying his new MTH O gauge Dash-8's and Weaver's Alco C-630 diesels.
Those locomotives looked good but what really caught my eye were the S gauge models on display at this show. There were heavyweight Madison car sets in several road names and freight sets like the one pictured above. I considered building an S gauge layout but found the market to be extremely limited. I decided to stick with O gauge and now regret my decision because I've really grown to hate that center rail and those hideous claw sized couplers.
Didn't know MTH purchased SHS until I read this thread. I hope MTH puts the wheels in motion and begins producing quality S gauge items for you S scale modelers. If they put as much effort into it as they've done with HO gauge perhaps other manufacturers will take notice and jump on the S scale band wagon.
