My point is. if SHS could do it from day 1 why could not MTH include scale
wheels in the box? At least for freight cars I am more than a little sure
the net cost would NOT be $2.00 per car. Even if the scale wheels cost more
you amortize the production costs across all cars. I don't see any reference
on how to get or including scale wheels for the locomotives.

 

Part of me thinks the "game" of it all is to see how many scale wheels get
sold to judge the scale market. If it is bleak in a year from now that
further justifies not catering to us Scalers. 

 

I am hitting up my hi rail friends to get their stash of scale wheels!

 

And.. here is the Broadway Limited website. http://www.broadway-limited.com/
I would love for S to aspire to their products and catalog of items
released. LOTS of PRR stuff! When the I1 was released I had my first bout of
HO envy since switching to S and almost bought 1. 

 

Show me ONE Gabe the baggage smasher loader unloader cattle sawmill bubbling
beer bottle filler recycler accessory in the BLI catalog. It can't be done!
If you want to be taken seriously you have to present yourself in that
manner. MTH has installed possibly the best electronics package ever made in
the highly detailed and prototypically correct S Scale loco so it can back a
car up to a remake of a 60 year old toy train accessory. Is that not a clash
of philosophies?  If that is not enough Lionel and MTH are both making them.
I would rather see a brand new freight car!

 

Thank You,
