From: Alan Lambert Lone Star Flyer Club Ed, Here you go relying on others. jon's e-mail was provided for you to use just like we can. You may have questions that he cuold answer just like we do. Everyones input is "key" here for Lionel to make what we want. Scale wheelsets included with and or available at time of purchase sounds good for overall everyone on this list to mention. Numbers let Lionel know we are here in a number they look at. Don With S-Helper reallized this point with the 2-8-0 when he offered High-rail or Scale wheels at the time we ordered it. With "our" input Lionel will see the big picture. My oppinion Counts here. Thanks, Alan

Direct contact with customers is always better than using intermediaries.
