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.
