River Raisin O scaled brass

As far as I can tell, it must have been typo.  River Raisin is exclusively S Scale.  There is no mention of any O Scale on the River Raisin website page for past projects.  They did however, offer S Scale NYC bay window and C&O cupola steel sided cabooses in 1992.

Agree with Rusty.

I know they worked closely with Overland and I think they may have taken an Overland production and labeled a particular engine River Raisin but as far as I know everything was S scale.

River Raisin is the Pacific Limited or C&LS or GPM of S scale. They make (import) nice stuff.   

P:64 would probably be just about the perfect size scale model railroad.

I agree that "S" may well be the perfect size, but it's also 10 times as hard to find stuff as "O". That statement may be optimistic!

Des Plaines Hobby is producing a lot of S scale.  I bought a bunch of River Raisin cars plus two RS-11s and a N&W A thinking about moving to S scale.  I guess I should sell the stuff and keep doing my O scale.

All us hard core S Scalers agree S is the prefect size, but a Simon indicated, it's not exactly an "instant gratification" scale.

While I may have quite a bit of "nothing's available in S," it's more the result of 30+ years in S and less about ready availability.

Same here with me in O scale.   I've spent the better part of 25-30 years collecting all the things for my sleepy little PRR branch line.    One might think it could be done overnight but doing it accurately takes lots of time, patience... and money.  

Too bad RRM hasn't done O scale, they do a lot of nice stuff.   But yes, even with its limited availability S scale is a nice sized train though the bigger the train the nicer the heft.
