Gentleman,
You people wonder why I got out of S scale. What is going on right now is a
good reason. I could say more but I won't.
Thanks

Ron,
This too was my belief until I delved deeper into the subject. After
obtaining more facts about the process by which Bill Lane acquired the "rights"
to these items, and the story behind who actually produced the original
containers in question, I feel Bill is overstepping his bounds. Stan Furmanak
did not produce the master. Therefore his widow does not have the right to
authorize their reproduction. Bill should have sought permission from the
rightful owners of the pattern work.
