From: Alan Lambert Lone Star Flyer Club Arlington , Texas Fred, Thanks for chimming in. I don't think John D wants to make a profit. In the long run he might loose money because all the scale guys will be gone. The high rail bunch is more populas than scale . highrailers would jump on something new, if it were available. My club would because they jump on Flyonel when comes out with new stuff. And it is not a toy. Toys don't last as long . They get played with and broke the first day. My 2 cents again. Alan Lambert

However, to be realistic, the fiscal viability of everything in S depends on its ability to be used by hirail practitioners in addition to us fringe group scalers--just ask Bashista, Thompson, or Sebastian! There's no dishonor in designing and marketing a scale product that can also be used by hirailers by changing trucks and couplers. It wouldn't shock me if 80 paid reservations could be achieved with the appropriate marketing to both communities.
