Jeff, Thanks for sharing your conversation with MTH. It’s kind of you to supply scale wheelsets. I hope there is a market for the hirail sets, and you don’t have to eat them! I will be buying my MTH cars from you.
Roger Nulton From: hoquathob Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2013 4:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: {S-Scale List} MTH Update Had a long phone chat with the folks at MTH on some of the issues raised here. F unit paint schemes: questioned them on the UP and ATSF paint schemes. Said they did do research on them and those schemes did exist Wheel sets: Decision to not include both hi rail and scale wheel sets was made to keep cost down. Since (based on info provided by SHS folks) about 80% of sales are to hi rail guys, they decided to make the AF stuff standard. They did have dicussions about doing cars as either scale only and hi rail only, a la the American Models method, but decided against it for now. Anyway, I will gladly swap wheel sets for any cusomer who wants scale wheels at no added cost, for those folks who buy MTH cars from us. Heading out for the Spree tomorrow. Car is packed and set to go - hope to see some of you there. Jeff Wilson Hoquat Hobbies
