Since it's happening in their own back yard so to speak, one would think that if the S scale market meant anything at all to Sergent Engineering they would make some sort of effort to get to the Chattanooga convention even if it's only for a couple of hours, so that they could at least get a feel for the potential S scale market firsthand, if nothing else. If they were really serious about it, and have honestly been working hard on the project for this past year as they claim, one would think that they would have expended the effort to at least have some samples to display at the convention themselves as well, rather than relying on John to bring his own personal models to display for them (even though I am sure John is more than happy to do this). The fact that they haven't made that effort says something. It's not like they haven't known this opportunity existed for some time now.
I wish I could be there to see the couplers firsthand for myself, but unfortunately, the convention is not being held in MY backyard!
