Temptation is too hard to resist…Just reserved two Sunset SP M moguls and purchased outright a used brass SP T28 4-6-0. All three combined cost less then one quality S scale steam kit, does this mean my S scale days are numbered?

Wait til you see how much less space you’ll use.
You may want to join Space Mouse’s Trains.comaholic group. Your S gauge days may be numbered. At any rate enjoy the new engines, flanged wheels are good, regardless of scale. Steam rules!!!

Slap an S scale cab on them and call it narrow gauge. No need to give up the best scale for one little slip.[;)]
Enjoy

Look what you have gone and done now, Space Mouse! [:0][:D]
Gotcha! Welcome to HO, West Coast.

Dave, it’s okay. It’s okay. When you come to your senses, I’ll take the locos off of your hands, LOL! Seriously, my friend, S-scale needs all the dedicated modelers it can get–if I weren’t so heavily invested in HO, that’s the scale I’d choose, believe me.
But that’s all right. You have fun with those Valley Mallets, and believe me, you’re not the first Bi-Scale modeler running around. I even had a Garden scale layout until a couple of years ago when I realized that I could actually SEE all the detail and it scared the stuffing out of me!

PS: About our talks on the Bachmann 4-8-2–I’ve got a lot of Precision Scale parts on order, to turn the little baby into an SP MT-2. Hopefully, they’ll arrive before I’m in a wheelchair at the Home, LOL!
Nice going Spacemouse!!!
Now I’m going to have to blame you for my next locomotive purchase!!! [;)]
Welcome back to the HO club Westcoast!!!

Appreciate the words of encouragement. I’m still working on my Valley Malley S scale project, I’m planning to produce diecast kits from the master for my personal use .
I get so fustrated with the lack of SP steam, I would like to have at least 5 correct engines completed by the time I apply for Social Security in 20 years. I’ve got too much invested in S to abandon it completely, rather then sit back and bemoan the lack of availibilty, i’ll produce some specific SP kits if the others won’t, in the meanwhile I can put together an HO pike for when the urge to operate strikes.

[2c] on the subject: Who says it’s gotta be all or nothin’ [?] I’ve been with HO since the mid-60’s. My HO trainroom now has an O-gauge Lionel Polar Express shelf railroad in a portion of it. An adjacent storage room has an S-gauge layout under construction.
Love 'em all! [tup]

I just blew $100 today at the LHS on some detail stuff, that darn Spacemouse, wait until my girlfriend finds out, he will be in some deal and hot water… [8D]

I fail to see the connection to why I, a self-proclaimed saint, could be the cause of such travesty. On the other hand, if blaming me gets you to make progress or just have more fun, then I can take it.
But please, don’t get any more women mad at me. I can’t stand, “THE LOOK.”

BTW my girlfriend would never buy the excuse that you caused my purchase [:)]
Though it might be worth a try…
SpaceMouse…don’t you mean “THE LQQK???”"
