From:Alan Lambert How many dealers are there in Texas. I have a local HS that orders from Walthers. If walthers has S in stock I can get it ordered. Yes S-Helper even is stocked by Walthers. Maybe the problem is that you have everyone that wants the car pluged in to get it, but the others are not interested enought to come through. Have you listed it on the S Trains list. I am trying to help you. thanks, Alan --- On Mon, 4/18/11, SMMW <[email protected]> wrote:
From: SMMW <[email protected]> Subject: {S-Scale List} Mag ads & the SAL box To: [email protected] Date: Monday, April 18, 2011, 8:29 AM Magazine ads, as I stated just 3-4 days ago, do not reach enough S scalers to matter when it comes to getting kit reservations. Since I started making S models nearly 7 years ago, I have relied almost solely on Yahoo lists and dealers to generate interest. Those resources are no longer supporting future kits for all of the reasons stated earlier (attrition, economy, China supply issues, etc.). I will not extend the 2-month deadline on the SAL car. As Pieter commented, this is the 3rd or 4th announcement for this car and NONE of them have yielded sufficient reservation count to move forward or it would have been "done" by now. 6/13/2011 is the cut off . 80 retail reservations or the project is dead and will not revived for a 5th announcement. In my experience, 90%+ of the eventual reservation count comes to me within 7 days from announcement. As of today, the 5th day, if 90% holds true, the project is already dead but I gave a deadline of 6/13 and that's what I'll honor. Jim King Smoky Mountain Model Works, Inc. Ph.
