It's certainly wise for you to go with what is in your best interest, but
perhaps I could tell you why I have not bought your kits. The first kit was of
a town building with no use to railroad operation. My space is too limited to
allow many non-railroad structures. Your grocery kit just doesn't fit into my
scheme. The warehouse is just too darn big. A major portion of a layout would
have to be designed around it. It would be most difficult to retrofit it into
an existing layout. I could buy one and kitbash it, but I really can't see
spending nearly $400 and cutting it up. The welding shop is the first kit with
great promise for me. I will undoubtedly buy more than one. I'm sorry that
just when you get into a size and subject that would be usefull to me, you are
leaving S. I wish you would reconsider. Most S scale guys are used to turning
one thing into another. It's much more practical to buy 2 or 3 reasonably
priced (under
$100) smallish kits and combine them into something large, than to try and
make 2 or 3 small structures out of a large expensive kit. That's why Design
Preservation has done so well in HO. I can't tell you how many of their kits
and wall modules I've bashed. I'd love the same opportunity in S. I'll bet
you sell plenty of the welding shop.

Hello, Group.
I am announcing today that Kit #3, Forest City Welding will be the last S-scale
kit that I will
produce. Unfortunately, the response to the first two kits has not be
sufficient enough to
justify the time and effort required to design and manufacture them, and I must
go where
the market is.
Greg's Grocery and Middleton Warehouse will still be available for now,
although I doubt
that I will produce as many as I originally planned.
Sorry about this. In the past year I've discovered that S is a great scale to
model in. I only
wish that their were more modelers in S, instead of so many collectors.
