I forgot in my previous post, you can go to the Yahoo groups and search Sn3 and there are 2 main groups pertaining to Sn3, the first is the Sn3 group and the second is the Northwest Narrow Gauge group (NWNG Group), that is where you will find a lot of guys that model strictly in Sn3 and you can get some fantastic information from them.  Also Google PBL and check out their web site.

I model in Sn3 as well as S standard gauge. I'm one of the few who model the East Broad Top. B.T.S. began making some kits years ago and I got into it since I live a half hour from the prototype. However, B.T.S. has slowed up a bit and I've resorted to scratch building everything I need. I'm currently working on the Timber Transfer that stood at Mt. Union, PA. I agree that Sn3 is a great size to work in.

Thanks! Yes I know about Paul Scoles PBRY&N. I read about in the 2010 MR Great Model Railroads. I thought the PBL Hybrids K-27's were only $500? I do agree it is the perfect size because it's S! I think before I did Sn3 I'd consider On30 because I think it'd be better for a rookie, but the O scale scenery and buildings take up a ton of room!

Sn3 track is 9/16th's" actual gauge which is 3' in S while HO track represents Sn42 or 42" gauge.  Shinohara sells Sn3 flex track and #6 switches.  The rail is code 70.

Fast Tracks sell turnout jigs for any size rail you want to use and also regular track jigs.

There are a few guys that model in Sn42 but not very many that I know of.  On30 has actually been around for a really long time.  it has always been a kit bashers scale and still is.  If Bachmann keeps raising its prices the way it has been it may very well go back to its roots.  On30 is great and a lot of fun.  There is also the rivit counters in On30 too, just like all scales.  Sn3 has their share of them but I think the worst are in On3.
