Dear Ed and All I have done just what you are discussing in your post. I have become a distributor for a company and I have had the laser company make two products from HO to S and am evaluating more for the future. The first item already ready to ship is a truck scale using a raised platform scale that can be made for either a single scale as would be used at a grain elevator or as a double platform scale for a truck and trailer. It also includes a scale house and a couple of free standing signs. The second item to be released soon is a craftsman style bungalow. It will have a full width porch, second story dormer windows and an exterior fireplace. It will also have foundation windows to simulate a basement for those who would want to do it thus. Pictures will be posted to my folder of the house soon. The truck scale pictures are already in my folder under Howard' S Trains. The scales including both platforms is $49.95 and in stock. Anyone may contact me for more information for these kits. I will be sending info to the mags asap also.
As has been said on this list many times, support your dealers if you want more product.
