The danger of listing too many "gonna do" kits is getting spread too thin,
dragging out too long and killing the enthusiasm in potential customers.
Delayed kits beyond reasonable time frame also kills credibility of the mfr.
That's why experienced manufacturers won't publicly state what's on the "to
do" list too far out. It's also a matter of keeping the cards close to the
vest to avoid an unscrupulous manufacturer from stealing your idea.
In general, the S and O markets are too small to have duplication,
particularly when the subject matter is unique to a road or two, like the SR
gons. Whoever gets to the finish line first, wins, simple as that (assuming
the quality is up to par). Just because there is chatter on this list about
production of a 44-t or 70-t doesn't mean the Golden Goose has been killed.
Quite the opposite, in fact. Chatter builds interest and may convince a
potential supplier to move forward with a project he once thought was
marginal. Positive chatter is good . keep the daggers to yourself.
