Ed, Yes, when I was doing O scale I talked to Lionel at 2 trade shows. I asked why MTH offered 3/2 locos and had Kadee coupler pads on their rolling stock offerings for the past 4-5 years and Lionel didn't. I gushed about the Lionel scale dimension F3 1st, so it wasn't like I wasn't looking for a fight, just and honest answer and I go it.
The response I got was "we don't build for the scale market". When I asked why not at least offer rolling stock with coupler pads for Kadee's, I got the same response. So, I hope Lionel does better for the S market than they do for the O market, but IMHO they dont' care.
