Hi Ed, I would expect it's confidential company information.
My concern is that they do like AtlasO did when they were making about 90% of
a run in 3 rail and 10% in 2 rail. The 2 rail units would sell out right away
and 2 railers would be forced to buy 3 rail units and convert them so it looked
like the 2 rail market was 10% when it was more like 25% cause they were buying
15% of the units in 3 rail to convert. If they want to seriously exploit the
scale market they need to make and stock enough stuff that prospective modelers
can find and buy it over a period of time longer than a pre-ordering period. It
takes a while for new modelers to find out what is available in other scales,
once they discover it they need to be able to buy it. does no good to tell them
that they shoulda been in the scale last year cause regrettably they
weren't....DaveBranum
