Hi Bill The mention about the scale wheels for the F-3 is in the gray area under features on page 2 John Foley ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Lane" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2013 5:20:31 PM Subject: {S-Scale List} MTH scale wheels included? My point is… if SHS could do it from day 1 why could not MTH include scale wheels in the box? At least for freight cars I am more than a little sure the net cost would NOT be $2.00 per car. Even if the scale wheels cost more you amortize the production costs across all cars. I don’t see any reference on how to get or including scale wheels for the locomotives. Part of me thinks the “game” of it all is to see how many scale wheels get sold to judge the scale market. If it is bleak in a year from now that further justifies not catering to us Scalers. I am hitting up my hi rail friends to get their stash of scale wheels! And.. here is the Broadway Limited website. http://www.broadway-limited.com/ I would love for S to aspire to their products and catalog of items released. LOTS of PRR stuff! When the I1 was released I had my first bout of HO envy since switching to S and almost bought 1. Show me ONE Gabe the baggage smasher loader unloader cattle sawmill bubbling beer bottle filler recycler accessory in the BLI catalog. It can’t be done! If you want to be taken seriously you have to present yourself in that manner. MTH has installed possibly the best electronics package ever made in the highly detailed and prototypically correct S Scale loco so it can back a car up to a remake of a 60 year old toy train accessory. Is that not a clash of philosophies? If that is not enough Lionel and MTH are both making them. I would rather see a brand new freight car!
