Dave, I did spend a few minutes watching/listening to the promotion
video where MTH described the integration of SHS. They talked about the
SHS as being similar to a kit that had to be assembled and then they
mention streamlining that process--this is not a quote but check out the
video and draw your own conclusion. My pre-apology to the Bean
Counters, but they seem to take all the fidelity and fun out of things!

SHS and AM have proved that's it's not impossible to please both scale
and hirail buyers so there's no good reason Lionel couldn't do the
same.Hopefully MTH will realize why SHS was successful and will
continue to stick to that level of quality, otherwise his investment
will not be maximized.and maybe Lionel will finally understand that
they are leaving a lot of potential sales to competitors by not
pursuing the scale modeling side of the hobby? All we can do is tell
them the facts then either get what we want from them or go spend our
money elsewhere.........DaveBranum
