There is certainly a lot of energy going into lamenting a future that might be
or not be on this list. For a segment of the hobby that has historically seen
a lot of begging there is certainly a lot of choosiness going on. Maybe it's
time to give it and them a break and see what plays out in this new era of
scale fidelitinessy-mostly-maybe-sorta product by two heavies in the industry
just wading on to our tiny island.
Too much choosiness might lead to self-fulfilling proficies of nothingness
where there will a lot of feel bad 'I told you so's. Now that's a future to
really lament. If I were to conduct a poll on this list it would be to vote
the consistently pouter posters off our island.
On the flip side I'm encouraged by the collaboration between Lionel and SSL&S
as an experimental step towards more scale offerings and by the apparent high
quality of the mechanisms and detail of new product. It's mighty big of Lionel
to offer a service to a small audience to reprogram their electronics. It will
be even better if it still allows access to some of their special affects not
usually available in DCC.
