Would seem to me by that description they are not part of the financial 
backbone that is the driving force in keeping AM/SHS/et al afloat.  That is, 
they would be wrapped up in their own nostalgic world and not interested in 
new products, perhaps Flyonel notwithstanding.

If what I'm reading on this list is accurate, then: I LOVE the Hi-Railers. 
So what if my interest (scale) is a secondary interest.  If, because of 
their involvement in S sized trains, pretty soon I get to have a GORGEOUS 
and SUPERB sounding NW-2 with scale appurtances... then THANK YOU to the 
Hi-Railers!  God bless you one and all!
