I have been skimming over the latest dead horse getting bludgeoned.... Why does Des Plaines and SHS offer their cars set up for High Rail right out of the box? Because that is how the vast majority of their BUYING customers want them. It is a BUSINESS decision. They are in business to allegedly make a profit.
Des Plaines got a photo of a new product featured in the largest Model Railroad magazine and did NOT have to pay for it. How is ANY of this a BAD thing? So it had Hi Rail couplers on it. (Geez we have not mentioned couplers lately) Follow along here - that is how the vast majority of their BUYING customers want them. Make something commercially and offer it for sale on the S market. Go ahead - I dare you. Business decisions will quickly override the opines of your well intended Buds and the nano - micro market that is this list of vocal S Scalers. (20 people?) Yes efforts can be made to straddle the line and try to accommodate both factions. But - News flash! We aint driving the decision train! It is 7:08 AM on a Sunday morning. When I click send I will spin 180 degrees and start decaling an O Scale flat car. Since Weds, I have customized 3 O Scale boxcars by changing them to an Ajax brake system, masked and painted those same cars in 2 colors, painted the O Scale flat car, painted 2 other O Scale cars and 1 S Scale car. What have ya'll done or made besides email? Can anyone reply that they have painted more then 7 cars this week? What HAVE you modeled? The group archives here are open to fully read to anyone that wants to without joining the group. We will never know how many curious people that may have considered switching to S Scale read the reasonably constant negative content here and kept going only to never look back. What good does it all do?
