Yes, with the usual caveats, Fama or Fama compatible will run on S ga track because it IS S gauge, 22.5 mm. [ Bemo stock is a more exact gauge in 1:45 scale, 22.2, unless it is converted to Fama standards; think of it as, to coin ? a phrase, "Proto39"....] But remember, there's a lot of different track in S gauge; examples:
- I seem to recall from my early Fama days that while AF straight track was fine, standard AF curves were a bit too tight, and turnout frog depth was a problem.
- Gargraves flex track worked fine, as did their swiveling, unprototypical closed frog turnouts
- A fellow I knew ran his Fama set on his fine scale [ ie, not a compromise AF + scale ] S ga layout; you could hear the flanges hitting the spikes, but not see any visual problems as I recall. I think Fama flanges are somewhere between AF and scale.
So I would check first before buying 1000 ft of any "non-OEM' track.........
As far as apartment dwelling, you could build a nice but downsized stub end RhB station on three walls, including staging with a traverser. Alternately, you could get a new girlfriend with a few unused rooms in her Park Ave condo......
Hope that helps ... well, most of it, anyway....
