Carey, I'm not suggesting that at all although a lot of us do that with freight cars just to help out and get a project going. All I am saying is that we could be headed in the direction of losing a kit manufacturer that is currently producing S-scale kits. My guess is that Altoona is receiving so few request for S-Scale kits that he has now started to require a 6 kit pre-order as a requirement to build a model in our scale. This will be true for new models as well as structures he currently produces in other scales, he has to at least cover the cost of his time to resize existing models. If we want new structures available, we as a group, need to step up and show some support for their efforts. This is not a easy problem to solve and all I am saying is that I now understand (a lot better) the reason we have problems trying to keep kit manufacturers willing to help us out. Ed Sauers
