It is disheartening to hear when any company "gave S a try" and discontinued their items. Many items that get made at the "cottage" level are because THAT person wants that item themselves and will "share" selling some quantity to offset production costs. Following YOUR heart is not always the best business plan. You could have the world's best trolley poles for a Chilean ore mine donkey but who else in the world would want that item too?
There has to be some responsible marketing and realistic projections if any 1 item will sell. Having someone say "I tried making stuff in S Scale and it did not sell" is part of the story but by far not the WHOLE story. I remember Korber that made a nice enginehouse and discontinued it before most knew it existed - based on his ONE ad placed!
