You may have something there about advertisers. It could be that the larger S
suppliers think its a waste of time and money to advertise in MR & RMC, but I
think it would do a lot for exposure to the wider community. I don't think it
costs anything to list new products, so I don't see why this avenue isn't more
utilized.
When you say the die cast side of the hobby, are you refering to vehicle
collectors?
Model railroaders are among the most technically sophisticated members of
society. It would really surprise me to learn that what you say about computer
ownwership and usage is correct. Of course, if you are refering to the 90% of
S folks who are not "scale" oriented, and whom I would not call model
railroaders, you may have something.

Yep.. Seems your right about the past.
On the bright side, the MR has published most or all of the news about
our new releases. Thank goodness! We where the only mention of S in
many issues. Sorry for not sending more into them. I just get tied up
and forget to get the news to the mags. We have actually had people
tell us that we where the factor in their move to S. I was glad to hear
it, though most where coming from the diecast part of the hobby. How do
we reach the other 90% of S modelers? They don't read mags, attend
shows or join forums. Most modelrailroaders don't even have a computer
and don't want any part of it. How does the S-gaugian fit into all of
this. I feel Don Heimberger is doing a great job on the mag. Is it too
much oriented to AF?
We are working on getting a few copies of our out of stock kits on the
shelf before Christmas. In our quest for survival, we are now offering
free shipping on orders over $49.
Stay safe, Keith Blanchard
