Friends, fellows and foes... there are FAR too many uninformed opinions being voiced around here that are showing a huge lack of knowledge of the real situation...I, for one, would much rather see Sergent remain at his post taking care of the issues that have him bogged down in both HO and S. Due to the size of it, I am VERY SURE that Frank is VERY concerned about his HO market, but yet his production issues have also affected his HO product line so that he cannot even produce a number of them at this time.
Please... let's all open our eyes... venture over to the Sergent web site... to his product pages... and take a few seconds to actually pay attention... and READ and comprehend the text on those pages... and see that most of his products are NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME! This goes to show that he is most definitely NOT showing his lack of interest in S scale because he is also unable to produce his HO stuff.

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! Bill in FtL
