Hi Bill and other longtime Fans Of S: Sorry to stir up unpleasant memories. 10 years ago was to scale/gauge combinations ago for me - at the time, I thought S was Flyer... and nothing else. I can say that because now I've seen the light of course. As a relative newbie to the scale - less than two years, really, and on my first layout - I'm late to this party and barely know the manufacturers that are still in business today, let alone those that have folded their tents. That's why I decided - despite the touchy nature of the subject - to ask whether I was missing a source for these. Seems like I'm not. Maybe we can convince MTH to do one as a flat car load. :-) Meantime, as I've noted I've ordered the Wiseman kit and when it arrives I can determine how much fettling I'll have to do to standardgaugerize it. Thanks for filling in the blanks, Bill - much appreciated! -Trevor (Marshall - Speederless in S)
