Wow.
I've been regularly following along here in the S scale forum because I know many of you (and wish the best for you) as well as still have an interest in S scale's health/direction in general.
Even though I threw in the towel in regards to trying to do something in S, it is so frustrating to see such a nice looking size just sitting (almost stagnant) and literally floundering in the water.
Jeff C. said something that, unfortunately, is a minor player in the S scene:
quote:... every time I go into S I do it thinking that the scale will finally move toward reaching that critical mass we are all hoping for. It hasn't happened, and I'm getting old.
In a nutshell that is what happened to me. I really did get into S scale at the wrong time. (My timing sucks sometimes.) I just didn't have the years it apparently takes to watch the years slip by waiting for needed product. So, like a traitor, I jumped ship and started amassing the HO items I need in order to have things on hand I will use to get a layout up and functional as my retirement years near (about 3 1/2 years from now).
I really, really feel for my friends in S scale.
