Reply to "The KC Lines "West Bottoms" In S Scale"

Hoo-boy, I had to hop in the Way-Back Machine to 2001 for those. It was actually the AM FP7, E8 and SHS F3 in the Yahoo S Scale photo section languishing for quite a while. (Shot with a camera that used a real, live floppy disc!)

Here they are:

I would also agree that the AM FP7 was a landmark locomotve. AM in general dragged S kicking and screaming out of the cloud of obscurity and helped to shake off the American Flyer only identification of the scale for the model railroading populace.

Till then, S Scalers in general were very proud of the fact that S was considered "the scratchbuilder's scale."

I never agreed with that "selling point." There were scratchbuilders in other scales doing quite well.
