Customer Service Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 6:02 PM To: Model Trains That Do More Subject: Re: Main Contact form Dear Mr. Loizeaux, Thank you for your online submission expressing your interest in learning more about M.T.H.'s plans for our upcoming S Gauge product line. We certainly appreciate your comments and suggestions for without consumer feedback we would be hard pressed to continue producing a product line you find appealing. M.T.H. always welcomes consumer suggestions as listening to consumers has always been the primary driver of our product line development. We are still formulating our F unit configurations at this time for our upcoming 2013 product line. As you may know, our O Gauge products utilize non-powered B units and are sold in ABA configurations while our HO offerings are all sold as power units and are configured in prototypical units per roadname (ie: A, AA , AB, or ABA). With such history behind us, we'll use these other product line experiences to help formulate the best options for our S Gauge product line. Finally, M.T.H. does not have a Kristi Jouben in our employ. Sincerely, Andy Edleman Vice President - Marketing M.T.H. Electric Trains
