From: Alan Lambert Lone Star Flyer Club Arlington, Texas, Bill, You used to have what I was looking for. Now you don't so I Just go there and peek and hope you bring some of it back for those of us that have just gotten into S from another Scale. I was N until I wanted bigger. I wanted to recreate what I had but the models are not available in my neck of the woods. In fact I do not have a local hobby shop the stocks S. I have to use the internet. Just another strugling modeler. Thanks, Alan

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'.
