The purpose of this page is to promote operating sessions in S Scale. A typical operating session on the C & S R requires 6 engineers, a dispatcher, and a supervisor. A typical session will last 3 hours. It is a real blast to have your friends working together on your layout. It is even fun to spend a couple days getting ready and setting up the session. We use a computer program called Railop, although carcards also works well.
Listed below are some of the advantages of operating in S Scale.
- You can read the car numbers
- All the engines can have sound, even the switchers
- A small amount of momentum on even the switchers make them act in a very prototypical way
- The size of S Scale is not much more than HO, however the volume is. The extra mass makes the cars act more realistically
- Because of the above the engineers operate on a slower pace than what I have experienced on HO.
- Track electrical pickup is better in S.
- Electromagnetic uncoupling works great, and delayed uncoupling even better in S Scale.
- YOU CAN READ THE CAR NUMBERS !
