Another thing to consider is the fact that flyonel wheels frequently necessitate compromises in the cars themselves resulting in decreased fidelity to scale--as Jim king has reminded us from time to time when the subject comes up: "Why don't we make models that can use any wheel profile under the sun?" It is just another reminder that scale model railroading is a distinct hobby from toy trains, and S will always be the victim of that distinction. I now apologize in advance to all of the "inclusivists" among us :-)
