Good evening, Well rules maybe rules, but Lionel or American Flyer just became part of the scale scene like it or not.
Several have urged the writing to Lionel about their offerings and what they are doing wrong, should they do that they are not expressing my views..I think it is fantastic that Lionel would offer two color schemes for KCS engines and also offer an Alcan hopper...it is not a new ( modern) car but a very hard car to model...I am pretty sure there are just two in S at this time....mine and Stan S's I'm looking forward to adding more.. I appreciate the stand that Danny, Andre and Bill have taken for the scale and where we are;I feel the same way and I would have all ready been off the list with a post of my feelings on the matter of the last three days....there is a lot of knowledge on this list and a lot of good friends many of 50 years or so. But I just don't need this..have we ever taken a step backward this weekend....it is like we met the enemy and it is us...alot of thought has gone into this next bit..not leaving the hobby by any means but I am leaving this list it just doesn't fit right now. gale hall
