You all know that Lionel is our only real hope at a price the market will buy anything in real numbers.  Some companies build a couple of hundred a very high priced product.  We need products priced so thousands will buy and grow the scale.

I think growing the scale is going to be geared toward smaller, more expensive runs--but the question of how expensive is too expensive is worthy of consideration and debate...

Short, very expensive runs are not going to encourage people to switch to S.

I don't think anybody has jumped into S because of the 77 (How's that for a small run?) $2600.00 (How's that for expensive?) ESU DCC/Sound River Raisin Berkshires...  Even RR's NKP Berk was around $1800-$2000 back in 2001 without DCC or sound.
