I hope so Dave. I'm not promoting the toy train side at all. I'm
focused on the scale side only, which is where the scale needs to turn.
However, i agree that MTH will be a big boost. I'm actually working on
trying to get Rail Flyer Prototypes to produce a line of S Scale detail
parts. It's slow going so far though. The scale needs to loose the
"toy train" persona, before we start to see any serious growth though.
Thanks

Keep up the good work. I'm very hopeful the recent entry of MTH will
be a big boost. along with Lionel we'll have two deep pocket companies
pushing the scale to the masses which should snare some new toy train
buyers plus make the scale modeling community take more interest in
the possibilities of S scale. O scale modeling got a big boost from
the MTH entry, it even caused Atlas to make a new line of O equipment.
So I'm looking for better days ahead for the sensible size. :>)
