The problem is, MTH has put out a pretty good S Scale product when they finally do put something out. They even honored the warranty on one of my F3's, even though I was obviously poking around with the wiring.
But, even the most staunch supporters of MTH's acquisition of the SHS line have just about given up. As Mark indicated: "Have money, will spend" doesn't seem to carry any weight with MTH with regards to S.
The last "new" S product from MTH was the piggy-back car, and that was about 18 months ago. Even that wasn't without controversy because of the use of the "O27" RailKing trailer. (Yeah, yeah... I know it matches the dimensions of a contemporary trailer.) Since then, not a peep, other than the "Less than 5 in stock" weekly emails...
Folks in S tend to have long memories. Once burned, it's hard to get back in their good graces. It's not necessarily right, but second chances are hard to come by in S.
Given the glacial pace of the S releases, it's up to MTH to turn things around, not the customer base.
