From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas Mark, Take what I have said before. For Lionel to truely get into the scale side of S guage they need to know how many out there of us that want scale offerings to happen there are, then just wait and see like Ed said. Alan Lambert

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.
