History Of S scale Model Train Sets

S scale model trains were first made in England during the 1930’s. At that time model railroaders were looking for a smaller scale that would take up less space but retain the advantages of detailing and the heftiness of modeling that the O scale afforded.

At the time, many felt that the HO scale model trains were too small and that a more desirable gauge would be somewhere in between the larger O scale model trains and the smaller HO scale model trains. That’s how the S scale model trains came to be.
