Some day the story of the new CLW will be told. Lou and his spouse (Betty, I think) are wonderful folks, but may have discovered that sincere effort is not enough to make a profit in the model train business. The new CNC-machined chassis was a work of art, but the brass alone drove the price to the sky.
I think, but am not sure, that the gears were slowly moving toward what Jay C is now offering. Surprised to see that Lou was staying with chain - every one of my sprockets is now split, and it is time to go tooth belt.
