No, Carey.   No one suggests that everyone buy a product just because it 
is created.   ( But that would be nice.. visit our web site! ;-)   )

The issue is one of numbers and logic.    Look at this list... there are 
over 1,000 members.   In the past, the PRR has been considered a very 
popular road for S modelers... hey, even Billy Lane models it.   Many 
PRR brass locos have been sold.   Many PRR cars have been sold.  So 
based upon that logic, one would assume that perhaps 5+ folks out of 
1054 would order a PRR structure;  shoot, that is less than 1/2 of one 
percent!    But based upon Ed's comment, it looks like less than 5 have 
responded.

We saw the same thing about a year ago.  We currently have a C&O Cabin  
(think Interlocking Tower)  in HO and O scales.  We put it out to the 
list that if 30 modelers in S would order one, we would create it in 
S.   That is really a very small number being only 3% of this list.   
Yet, we only received 3 orders.   Not worth my time to do the conversion.

So Ed is now seeing the level of support others have seen for years.  
Lots of 'wants', but few 'buys'.

Take care
Bill
