Jim you are on the money. After all is said and done, Scale models are plastic too, LOL. I think this is all good for S Scale and Flyer toy trains.

Next thing you know folks will be counting rivets and dismissing repainted Flyer cars! <G> Wondering where all the prototype police were when AF made Northern Pacific PA's or American Models made New York Central FP7's? When will you realize you are not the target market! All of us angry old men can't hold up the S scale market; Lionel must expand the base if they expect to succeed and, by the way, flash and color sells. Or in the famous words of Irv Athearn, "Well, the paint sticks to it doesn't it!" If a Warbonnet U33 gets one new person into S scale, are you going to criticize them too?!? My goodness…, just spend your money on something else and move on… I'm firmly in Brother Ron's camp on this one, it's all good news! Jim
