Yes, Dave, you sure are correct. Even some of the hi-rail guys were very disappointed in the Big Boy. Carl T can bring it closer up to speed, but for a fee, and that seems to me to indicate there is disconnect between Lionel and the S market. IMHO, one shouldn¹t have to pay top dollar for an engine and then turn around and have to pay a surcharge to fix what should have been done in the first place.

The High Rail engines and cars will sell. Lionel does not have the tooling that you want them to have. Send them some money and see what happens. > If it's their test market loco they need a new product development team cause they have no idea how to please a market. If I gotta make it scale myself then it should cost about half as much shouldn't it? Whether the high rail cars sell or not has no connection to S scale or to what we do here.Lionel 3 rail also sells well and we don't care.Lego's sells well and don't care. Iphones sell well, Lots of things that are not S scale sell well so what's the point? As long as we have guys like SHS, AM, and DHP trying to do it right why should we take money from them and give it to Lionel for arrogantly doing it wrong? .....DaveBranum [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
