More diesel locomotive projects give Mr. Mann more leverage with the model production companies.

I sure doubt THAT! Leverage with Chinese production companies is an oyymoron.
Good Day,
I respectfully disagree. New business is new business no matter where it is produced. Even the Chinese companies want new and more business. I would think the more projects you can bring to a model train manufacture the more leverage you would have in business negotiations.

Scott has already learned that you do not deal directly with Chinese production companies. He deals only with Korean companies that deal with the Chinese production companies.
And as the 3-rail IS saturated that would only leave 2-rail. He has said repeatedly that the 3-rail Scale market is what makes his things doable. I asked him about something like a joint venture with Lionel on their SD70Aces to do the 2-rail only and he pretty much said Lionel would laugh him out of the building or make it so prohibitively expensive as to not be feasible.
Also his schedule is pretty much booked up for the next 3 years with the stuff announced/in process and who knows what will happen by then.
