"There was another difference, too. J. Lionel Cowan and A.C. Gilbert built
stuff that pleased their market, not their marketing "experts"."
Bob, that is the most accurate statement made on this thread. If Mr. Cowan
were still alive and running Lionel I don't think Atlas, MTH and other 3R Mfg's
would have gotten the market share they have today.
And, I'll bet he would have seen the light and offered 2R scale trains along
with his 3R line. But, that was a period of strong willed iconic business men
who made the decisions that grew their companies rather than a bunch of lackies
answering to the stock holders.
