Jonathan,
I was basing my possible interest on the unknown thought that Lionel is heading towards offering scale wheels as an option for all new releases. If that does not happen it helps my decision greatly as I have no need for a Hi Rail locomotive. If they offered their 2-8-2 in B&O with scale wheels I would likely have 1. In response to your just previous post - in the grand scheme you are correct. It is just business as usual if MTH decides to jump into S Gauge. But S Scalers ARE different. Because of the "family" we view many suppliers as FAMILY. We call them friends - not like the fake Facebook friends - but real people we have known for 20+ years. They have been invited to weddings and parties etc many times over. The fact that they make S Gauge trains now is secondary. Like friends and family one could easily get a protectionist view of newcomers coming in and competing.. Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy & PRSL in 1957 in S Scale since 1988 See my finished models at: <http://www.lanestrains.com/> http://www.lanestrains.com Look at what has been made in PRR in S Scale!
