Don't know about Bill Walthers, but some hobby shop owners like to sell only
what is already on their shelf -- namely HO and N. They do not want to stock
O, S, etc. because of the added financial investment needed to establish a
decent in-stock inventory of other scales. There are exceptions to this logic,
of course, but it is fairly common.
Have you ever tried to have a local non-S-stocking hobby shop special order one
(just one) American Models box car?
