Folks.... This is an interesting message and serves to illustrate the value of ADVERTISING. Literally dozens and dozens of earlier messages re: the Budd train, professionally created pamphlet, a presence at two conventions, a web site, very close to the critical mass, and yet, some folks think the project is dead! Now far be it from me to complain about why the world ain't a better place, but I can easily see how this can happen in S scale. After all, Kaslo has not paid for any color advertisements in the magazines. Nor have they bought time on the Jay Leno Show. No wonder the project is beginning to appear like rigor mortise is setting in. But things are not always what they appear. This project is actually beginning to breathe a bit faster now..... >From another fellow: >Ed, >Thanks again for your correspondence, it is really appreciated. >Pretty much decided will be buying "mint" factory-painted South Wind >Niagara for $950 and Kaslo NYC nine car Budd set for $1,080. Just going to >wait for flyer. There goes >my $2,000 budget for this year. Lookit that! Two train orders just on the basis of one email message to the list a few days ago. Amazing! More amazing is that one of them never heard of the project and the other one thought it was dead. G-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-z-z-z-z-z-z-zzzzzzz.........! It is even more amazing when I think of the stuff that does get created in S scale only by word of mouth. Miracles do happen. But think how much easier it would be if a bit of continuous ADVERTISING kept us all informed. Off soapbox (for now). If anyone else out there in S-cyberspace wants the Kaslo Shops Distributing S Budd pamphlet, please let me know and I will send you one. Please buy a train set -- if not for yourself, for me! Thanks.
