@AmFlyer posted:Cody, Scale Trains last updated the status of their S scale activities on June 9th. That update has pictures of a pre production boxcar and a 2-bay hopper. Those models have the MTH high rail trucks with truck mounted MTH high rail couplers. No comments have been made about scale vs high rail but it is reasonable to assume Scale Trains will initially follow the SHS/MTH practice for rolling stock. Engines will not be DCS, they will be DCC or DCC ready. Scale Trains also said they have begun work on the S gauge track line.
Tom, Scale Trains (updated Aug 4 2022) is mentioned in the NEWS section in the NASG web site indicating their intention to release the entire MTH line. Also mentioned in the Sept/Oct Dispatch, in the Buffalo Convention write up by Jay Mellon about Des Plaines Hobbies speaking, with Matt Gaudynski, Scale Trains plans to release the entire selection of models formerly produced.
I'm probably reading into it because MTH includes an entire H0 line of products. BOTOH, he doesn't exclude the SHS line either. There is hope anyway. Having the former SHS line back in production would be a big plus for S. Matt also said they hoped to have the FV #5 turnouts restocked by late 2022 or early 2023.
With fingers crossed,
