This last weekend I spent manning the NASG booth at the World's Greatest Hobby
Show in Portland, Oregon. About 20K attendees, and lots of interest in 'S'
(Hi-Rail & Scale). I had a display of about 25 locomotives, including several
Scale. I had quite a few people expressing interest in S Scale, especially
those with the smaller scales and older eyes.
Anyhow, a Rep from MTH stopped by and chatted for a few minutes. So I couldn't
pass up the opportunity to poke at him about getting into 'S'. To my surprise,
he came back saying there is now serious discussion about the possibility of
MTH going into 'S' !! It about blew me away. Of course there was no promise. I
was just surprised that he would say that, as most companies would be
tight-lipped until they were ready for a public announcement. But, stay tunned,
we will see... And then, there will probably be hurdles similar to those with
Lionel, as far as getting anything in scale.
My thanks to Bob Boring and crew for brining the NW S Scalers layout. It looked
and worked great. I really appreciate your support.
I should also mention and thank Alan Bennett for bringing his Hi-rail layout
despite some family health issues. Thanks Alan.
It was great having two layouts there demonstrating significant 'S' presence.
