John, I learned over 3 years ago that S scalers don't support the hobby. I went
back to O scale about 4 Months ago and the difference is fantastic. I don't
have to depend on toy trainers to get what i want. I have almost gotten my
collection back at about half the price as S. The only problem is the price of
Track and space. I have picked up several Locos that is not evan available in
S and probably never will be. The biggest problem that I have now is Getting
rid of my remaining S which is sizeable. I have gone to 2 O scale shows and I
did not see any 3 rail. I bet the columbus show will be more toys then scale
Thanks Bert Cutler
For those of you who have been faithfully waiting on some news about the
SAL round roof box car project I started over two years ago... I just got the
final word last night from the manufacturer who was to produce it for me... and
that word is simply this :
IT AIN'T EVER GONNA HAPPEN!!!
A lot of things have led to this (including the piss-poor economy)... but the
main thing, I'm sure, is that out of the 88 model sales that were promised (to
ME) by modelers who initially showed an interest in this model, only HALF of
those sales ever (re)materialized for the manufacturer after he took over the
project. So the project kept getting set back farther and farther until more
sales materialized.
So be it. Now, none of us who genuinely wanted one get to have one. Not only
that, I've wasted a load of money on this project and TWO YEARS worth of my
time!
Thanks a lot, S scale!
I guess I should probably give up on my Scale Gearbox Projects as well... lest
I waste even more time and money on this dieing scale...
