Yo: That's a bummer. I really don't like the idea of taking an existing k-line o-gauge car and converting it to S-gauge. I actually don't really like even Lionel's S-gauge stuff.
The stuff coming out of all the other S-gauge manufactures (S-Helper, American Models, Des Planes just to name a few is the stuff they should be comparing with and building like. I'm a hi-rail operator and have purchased a ton of stuff over the past 4 years. Prior to that I was purchasing a ton of stuff in O-gauge. I really like the direction that S is going, more detail, better quality, better operating reliability. Build a K-line on S-wheels doesn't cut it for me. I my opinion, if K-line does that they will fail in the S market.

Not as promising as I would like, but might be a step in the right direction. I pleaded with Maury on Saturday for an entry-level S gauge set. Apparently, not just yet. <Hi: It appears we are doing multi road names on a <boxcar and a tank car. These are our small series <freights for which we have updated and designed S <gauge trucks and couplers. We have no locomotive in <the works now nor will the Big Boy be offered in S <gauge. The cars are larger than Gilbert, but should <find acceptance at some level-perhaps entry. < < < <Nick Ladd <Director of Sales Now it will be up to the S gauge community to see if they support this effort and, unlike Lionel, perhaps make it grow--or whether they will dismiss it as more Lionel "O gauge with S trucks".
