The YAHOO S-Scale Group is for discussion of model railroading in 1/64th (S) scale; both standard and narrow gauge.
If you are already modeling in S scale or are a model railroader who is considering switching to S from another scale JOIN US! This list is one of the best sources of information on S scale available. Just introduce yourself after joining. Ask all the questions you want. We will take care of you! Once you decide to switch to S scale you will be one of our family. Joining the National Association of S Gaugers http://www.NASG.org is HIGHLY recommended. Going to a NASG National convention is a great place for a newbie to "meet the people" and see what is available. See MORE S-scale at www.NASG.org and in our LINKS section. Find Many Photos of S-Scale Modeling in our FILES and PHOTOS Sections.
If you would also like to design and make S Mod S Scale Modules, join this group;

For 1/64th scale toy trains, including Gilbert/American Flyer, see the Yahoo "S-Trains" group;
