From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas Pieter, Maybe if Jim would post on the S-Trains list The highrail guy might bite and order some cars they don't have that they would lkie to have. He could make an interchangable Bolster or would that be asking Way too much for a simple market fix. If not I will never switch to total scale because the cars I want are not available in scale. Maybe I'll switch to HO and get out of S guage.(That will not happen) i'm Happy where I am. I'm Hoping it will be less than what they are saying about Sandy. We deal with hurricans more than yall do. We get the after landfall remnents( heavy rain, hail., wind).I'm done with SMMW. I will not be negative against him , unless he bashes Lionel, and the lack of scale wheels. Out of here, Alan

Some are really typing up a storm, no pun intended. I realize that Lionel entering the scale market is a big deal. Unfortunately, there are about a dozen messages for each nugget of information. We have been over how to contact Lionel and MTH and the need to do so. The rest, well, go ahead and tell them that they need to have everything available all the time, I'm sure they'd be glad to upend standard modern marketing strategy so we can by what we want whenever we want. Oh well. Allan, you've made your view on SMMW and high rail evident for some time, and Jim has made his response quite clear as well. Repeating a couple of times a day is unlikely to change the outcome. What might work would be a bunch of high rail guys buying his kits and figuring out how to modify them. Jim (with some basis) feels if you won't bother to do that, you probably won't want to build his kits anyway. Between the mass of messages and Yahoo hiccups (I see replies hours before the the original post, and two or three repeats of some posts) it is becoming impossible to keep up with you all. Bill and I may well both be off line if Sandy does anywhere near the damage warned of, so don't make me moderate the group before that happens... Pieter E. Roos
