Ah, I understand. I think. I is sort of ³guilt by association² if scale trains are even in the same universe as toy operating accessories., no matter the level of detail or price point, correct?
I suppose it ³might rub off.² Roy Inman From: Bill Lane <[email protected]> Reply-To: S-Scale <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:04:45 -0400 To: S-Scale <[email protected]> Subject: {S-Scale List} catalogs A friend is currently at York and got me printed copies of both catalogs. Apparently MTH was giving them out with some hesitation. Try and convince a serious modeler to switch to S when both catalogs are filled with toy operating accessories. No matter with the trains are it is not going to make the ³sell² easier. I am giving Lionel the win by a nose for promoting ³scale S² by clearly dividing traditional American Flyer and their new scale line. But their just out modern hopper has ALL very imagineered paint schemes on them leaving the modern modeler to paint a very brand new car. They are both falling very short on what I see as accommodating the scale modeler. Scale wheels as a separate purchase or request which is really annoying. If you buy the MTH scale wheels and couplers it is another $20.00 making a new car purchase $80.00 list. That is about twice the SHS price. I will be MUCH choosier as to what I buy at that price.
