Well, according to my recollection, that is perhaps not entirely accurate. Keith asked for ideas for S scale kits from people on this and on the S trains list some time ago. As I also recall (or, as I think I recall; memory at my age is unreliable) Keith also said that he had received lots of ideas for new S kits. I don't know, maybe he made what he liked and ignored the ideas, although that would not make a whole lot of sense for a person in manufacturing and sales, as opposed to, say, politics. Maybe Keith himself can verify one way or the other. Cheers :) Roy inman
