Sure, Charles... I was just trying to show a NON-S scale market that these can also be marketed to.

LOL!!! That is what I meant to say - On3 and On30... not Sn3 and Sn30. I've been on vacation too long... (spent last 5 days in Bahamas (Half Moon Cay & Nassau)) John Degnan [email protected] I happen to enjoy "endless details and dimensions", thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darrell To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2011 04:10 PM Subject: {S-Scale List} Re: LATEST WORD from Sergent Engineering not to mention the On3 - On30 market Darrell --- In [email protected], "John Degnan" <Scaler164@...> wrote: > > On the contrary... the availability of such new products as the new Sergent coupler (and other scale oriented items) could very well be the very thing that keeps S alive in the future by drawing in others from other scales.

Neither do new modelers go into HO because they can still get them. AVAILABILITY is the key here!

And I know for sure that there are a number of Sn3 and Sn30 modelers interested in a new Sergent S coupler as I have already been contacted by a number of them... and they have also already contacted Sergent about the new S coupler voiving their interest. > > And since, as you say, S scale's current supporter base will be dieing off in the next 20 years, then something must be done NOW to try and prevent S from fading into oblivion. > > John Degnan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
