About S Scale

Some Thoughts on S Scale

S scale has made an impressive comeback in recent years, but among many model railroaders it still has something of an exotic mystique. Though my personal preference favors smaller scales, this is because I have very limited space for train layouts. Having said that, if you are familiar with my writings, you know my affinity for TT scale reflects my on fascination with the exotic. While I always consider space to be a major consideration in selecting a scale, if you have the room I think that S scale is well worth investigating. If I had the space I might well be putting together an S scale layout myself.
