Ed, The S scalers are to blame for the problem, If you see it you better buy it it won't be around long. They don't buy. How many F 7's do you think needs to be sold for SHS to make any money The molds are very expensive, I know from experience. All we can hope for is someone comes forth using urethane especially the new one almost as good as plastic. Just like Jim king We need to prove to him that his products are good and he produces more. We need more people like him now. You have my 2 cents worth. Thanks Bert

He is the fellow who has singlehandedly created the entire logging corner on the Mighty NYC layout. Everything from locos, to cars, to structures, to advice, to weathering, etc. He will be a great addition to S scale. He is an excellent modeler. As I have always surmised, when someone moves from one location to another it is a great time to consider a scale change - or maybe a scale addition (like in addition to HO). I am happy to see the S scale bug has bitten again. Chomp...!! Now for the other side of the coin. Considering the current state of affairs in S scale, if someone asked what could they actually purchase these days from in-stock inventory, I think the answer would be somewhat disappointing. Much of the SHS products are sold out. Same with some of the AM line. Brass imports are down to only one importer left who seems to be doing only engines - no cars. Jim King seems able to crank out one new loco per year (approx.) And so forth. "S"eems to me that the variety of products in S scale is dwindling down rapidly. Or is this only in my imagination?
