I'm afraid we can add the "Challenger" to the list of monstrosities. I don't really believe the conspiracy theory that Lionel produces exceptionally embarrassing models under the AF name to keep the O gauge guys from switching to S but those two models add evidence to the case. We know they can produce better. You see it in O and with their S gauge Mike. I'm sure as long as the Flyer boys keep snapping them up Lionel will continue to feed the lemmings. Just makes our job of promoting scale modeling at 1:64th all the more difficult.
Chris Borgmeyer Lionel SnS Gauage Posted by: "Rusty" [email protected] thebrassbasher Tue Sep 27, 2011 8:18 am (PDT) Lionel did an S Gauge Big Boy that is 4 foot too tall, 20 foot too short and is the only model I have ever seen that will run down two side by side tracks at the same. It was Lionel selling a 1000 of these things (started by K Line)that prompted Sunset to even think about building anything in S Scale again. I met with Scott about this and he was very excited about getting into S again. I can understand his excitement. If this was that acceptable to the S crowd than just about anything should sell. Once again, confusing the Scale guys with the Flyer guys. I warned him up front that these Big Boys were considered junk by the Boo Rim buyers and he could count them out. Sadly Sunset is still sitting on their SP Mogul that they did while Glaicer Park sold out their SP Mogul as soon as they arrived. Sunset's is under $1000 and Glacier Park's is over $2000. All of the TCA guys that drifted in here from the S Trains list should remember the showing of the Lionel scale GE "U" boat in York and that was when, a year ago or so. J.
