Folks, I am going with the plastruck. Thank you for your help. I especially liked the SHS web site. I got into Flyer some years ago, when a client gave me a 312AC loco, which I ran on the SHS track and was thrilled with the whole operation. Bigger than HO but not too big. Its special. I do have Lionel and Gauge 1 but "S" is different.
