S Scale Product Database Project

For those of you modeling railroads in 1:64 scale, we want to call your attention to the S Scale Product Database Project. This project's goal is the cataloging of S Scale products suitable for use on model railroads. Currently the database has entries for:

• Locomotives
• Freight Cars
• Cabooses
• Maintenance of Way
• Passenger Cars

and in the future will be cataloging other S scale items as well.

The next category planned is for S scale structures (aka buildings) which will of course be useful  on model railroads as well as other 1:64 dioramas (e.g., diecast diaramas).

The S Scale Product Database Project is online at: www.sspdp.info

Users can view the contents of the S Scale Product Database Project online, or may extract all or portions of the information (excluding photographs) out to a Microsoft Excel formatted workbook for offline or other uses.

New items are added to the S Scale Product Database Project every week, so be sure to check back frequently. And the Project is always looking for data on additional products to be added and/or updates to existing data.

The project was started with a idea back in 2003, and it really came to fruition thanks to the programming talents of the late Stan Furmanak using data provided by Stan and myself. Since that initial beginning, many, many other people have contributed their time and efforts and information to enhancing the contents of the database. We continue to receive additional updates which we make every effort to make in a timely fashion.

We hope you find it useful in your modeling activities!  And please contribute if you have additional information on products..
