Ed Point taken, but I feel you might have quoted the entire line I wrote, about how I appreciate Lionel making an effort to "scale-ize (is that even a word?) some of their offerings". I also think I used the word "probably" in there somewhere, but no, I'm not "really sure there will not be a scale model somewhere in the lineup at that time". I didn't realize I was making a "public assertion without some factual evidence". My apologies to all, including Lionel.
