Jace,
Previous to the 2-8-0, the SHS sales were LARGELY hi rail. But until that point it pretty much did not matter because all wheels were included. Now that the 2-8-0 is here when you consider the MANY paint schemes, electronic options and throw in the minor thing about scale or hi rail wheels, the stocking combinations become immense. How do you forecast sales for this and order for your stock with a 3-6 month lead time? How do you order and in what combinations because that is what you are going to sell? I would not want to have to make such decisions. Further Don told me once the Tsunami got "out on the road" the sales for scale versions increased greatly at which time hi rail versions in production were changed to scale at an up charge to him. If I misstated something here, I am sure Don will reply and correct me, but I am pretty sure I am mostly correct here. Lots of things about trains are much fun. Making trains is not one of them.
