I really like S scale but as others have said its is the economy of scale, there just aren't huge #'s of people or product in S scale. When I attend the large Amherst train show I only see a few S scale dealers and maybe a layout. It will be interesting to see what price points MTH comes out with. The new used market in N, HO and O is huge meaning you can get a newer engine for 1/2 the price or less. I do not see that in S scale. Maybe I have it all wrong. One big postive, is the scale size of S, you can certainly fit more into the S scale layout footprint verses O 3 or 2 rail.
