Well said, Jim, Alan Lambert needs to "realize" that you (and us scale modelers) don't care about HiRail standards... and never will. We're all doing just fine without a single thought about it or for it.

I've always focused my kits toward the scale modeler, which includes detailed draft gear and underframe. If the purchaser wants to add hi-rail wheels and oversize couplers, that's his choice but one that will likely result in some of that detail being removed to make room. I'm not getting into the debate of scale vs. hi-rail operators; it is what it is. All I can say is that my past, present and future offerings will cater to the detail-conscious modeler because that's my target market and compromising that level of detail is not an option for me.
