Ed, seems to me you are missing the point of the mag section... it was
talking about new products coming from many sources that were on display
at the October 2005 IHobby Expo in Los Angeles. Most of the products
shown there cannot yet be touched or purchased. Ain't nothing amazing
about the magazines talking about future products in any scale.
In the section on the Expo, Bachmann showed a work-in-progress for their
HO 2-10-2, DeLuxe Innovations had the preproduction sample of the N
scale Maxi-Stack, Atlas showed their Feb 2006 release of the Maywood
station in HO, Intermountain displayed parts of their HO Cab Forward,
Blackstone displayed the preproduction HOn3 2-8-2, and S-Helper showed
off their upcoming 2-8-0.
Take care
Bill
