Reading the above conversation makes me realize how far behind I am in understanding the SHS to MTH transation. I am not aware that MTH sells "memberships" nor have I purchased any MTH S product since SHS sold the business. If the first two "annual" cars have been Eastern railroads LI and C&O, then I'm not particularly interested. My primary S scale activity at present is converting SHS, AM and SSA rolling stock to various Mexican roadnames of the 1976-82 era, before the Sureste, Pacifico, Chihuahua-Pacific, Sonora-Baja California and NdeM all merged into the FNM. I still have a couple of dozen NdeM boxcars produced by SHS in 2004. They are available at the original SHS price of $40, despite one reportedly selling for $100 on Ebay. I will bring a number of these to Fall S Fest in Illinois in November. I've already picked up mt Amtrak tickets for that trip.
