I am on a roll.
The thought of Lionel making S SCALE trains was a bit foreign to me before Jonathon's post yesterday. I knew about the U Boat coming but that was about it. We inquired about scale wheels at the debut of the Lionel S 2-8-2 but that was never intended to happen. With all due respect to Don T, no one here is hoping for SHS resurrection more than me. SHS is the home town team we all want to win on a daily basis. Des Plaines and A M are much needed as well. But Don can't "make it all". I have seen some of what Lionel has done with some O cars. A friend's biggest complaint is the lack of a scale coupler mounting pad. I can't claim scale fidelity to the intended car because I did not measure it. But it was every bit as nice as a SHS car sans the big wheels and couplers. For this purpose and my friends satisfaction it walked and squawked like a duck. Wrap your mind around the thought that Lionel could have more S SCALE trains coming if there is support. We could have our own version of "The Big Four". If you don't embrace the thought you could be grinding on whose turn it is to carry the S coffin.
