From: Alan Lambert Lone Star FlyerClub Arlington, Texas Don, Thanks for adding your comment. As you said early "S" was all about kit form . You had to put it together before you ran it. Now with ready to run and Lionel American Flyer, we have new offerings that people have wanted for a long time in ready to run. I am happy with what is out there. I hope you get back up and producing so that they will say I should have known to wait and not be negative about what is offered. I just got my American Models (oops) MKT heavywieght Passenger cars that I ordered from my club rep before they were listed on the website. I will wait and see what you have to offer next. Thanks, Alan

If S scale had a think tank that proposed a way for Lionel to start making S Scale models for the S Scale market to influence those of other scales to consider and join S scale, I think the first step would be a highly detailed model with the including the options of scale wheels and KD couplers. In our mind, the U33C is a great first step and announcing a SD70ACe with scale wheels installed is a wonderful 2nd step. I think if you had modeled S Scale with us in the 70's, when our S Scale options were wooden reefer kits and converted flyer freight cars, you would have a different perspective on the importance of these latest developments by big "L".
