That's what I was afraid of. Nothing against the existing mfgs. as they are excellent, but IMO they would not compete for the same dollars. Also, more model choices just makes it that much easier to draw more people into S as you would mitigate the main concern of limited product availability. I know I am in the minority, but I have been modeling in several other scales for over 30 years and I think the one major hurdle that keeps HO and O scale modelers out of S is lack of product diversity. Most scale modelers want to model a specific road or two. That is difficult to do in S. I hope Scott gives it another shot with a different model that has more broad based appeal.

Scott feels that the "S" scale market doesn't want a Chevy in the market place. He feels that if the "S" scale modelers want only a Caddy then so be it. Scott was welling to work with the "S" scale market and was hoping to offer other engines inthe futureif this project was a go.
