Hi Ed; Well, I read all of it; and not just because of being a moderator.
You are correct, lots of good information, also lots of speculation and opinions without support. At work, we call it "rolling out the jump-to-conclusions mat". Funny how we think. You noted that it's been a long time since anything new arrived in S (well, except the U-33s, Challenger, Big Boy... but the latter two are definitely not "scale"). Just a week or so ago after looking at Bob Hogan's photos of the new NP boxcar from the Supply Car, and the announcement of SOO stock car and a few other things, I was thinking just how much NEW stuff was out there, considering one of manufacturers has just been sold after a long period of enforced inactivity, and the other two majors have been pretty slow in producing. You are right that for new, non-brass RTR in scale, things have been slow. Pieter E.

It seems that every time Lionel does or says something (anything) half the world approves and the other half complains without even seeing or touching the product in question. It is truly dismaying to see all of this once again, but human nature is strange. Not wanting to be left out of the discussion, I’d like to add my comments here. Enjoy them or delete them. Not sure I really care, but giving it some thought might just be helpful to all of us. Cheers….Ed L. (the real me!) <SNIP>END OF LIONEL EPISTLE. How many read this to the end? Just curious….Ed L.
