From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas Tom, I asked Lionel about the scale wheels. Without pre-orders they will not do them. The catalogue is a wishbook. They announce something but rely on pre-orders to off set the cost of having to make new tooling. If they get enough pre-orders they will know the market is out there for them to go ahead with production. That is why Jim king does it the way he does. He looks for pre-orders to see if it is worth the effort to produce. Not enough pre-orders he cancels that kit. Alan Lambert

If you did not talk to them about the "yes scale wheels" ~~ "no scale wheels" confusion , you wasted your time. Tom Hawley -- Lansing Mich
