Description





Welcome!

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;

This list is NOT for discussions about American Flyer and other toy trains. American Flyer only subject threads will be given a VERY short life before they are ended. However, discussions about aspects of layout building or trains that are common to scale and Flyer trains are welcome.
For 1/64th scale toy trains, including Gilbert/American Flyer, see the Yahoo "S-Trains" group;

This month's photo is from Bob Hogan, entitled "Truckee yard with outbound freights". The engine on the left is a highly modified Overland 2-8-2. It is a model of Western Pacific #309. This model won Master Craftsman "First" in locos at the recent NASG Convention in St. Louis.The engine on the right is a modified SHS 2-8-0. This engine has a new stack, cross-compound pump and piping, injectors piping, steam "cluster" with pop valves whistle, new bell, and tender modifications including an oil tank and "dog house".

Re: Slowing Down Da Motor........
... Bob...I am just glad you got it working. The explanation is that you have inserted enough other stuff (bulbs, diodes, resistors) in the circuit to swallow
