BlueComet400 could very well be the future of our hobby, and their money is just as green as yours.John
Lets hope not... because the hobby of scratch building a detailed hirail scale layout would be lost.
What you are missing in this is that you have different customers for o guage product. Lets make an anology... consider selling cars...
If you dont provide enough market bandwidth, such as types of vehicles, like minivans, sedans or pickup trucks you have situations where as a company u are forcing your customer to buy something they dont want. Like trying to sell a farmer a sedan. Makes sence if you only sell sedans, but that vehicle doesnt fit the farmers lifestyle. He needs to haul trailers, bulk goods in the vehicle, have off road capability etc, etc. He simply goes elsewhere to buy his truck.
Offering only a track system that appeals to the carpet layout once a year crowd, doesnt fit the lifestyle of model railroaders with scale layouts that are permanent.
You have to realize the scarcastic tone of what was being said.
