Reply to "MTH's impact on S"

Getting converts may be the best way to start.  I used to like looking at the N scale layouts at the shows, but now I have progressive bi-focals.. 

 

O gauge hi-rail gets more and more scale, use of Kadee couplers is slowly increasing, and I think MTH has been offering scale profile wheel sets.  No longer are O gauge hi-railers "collectors who operate", they're model railroaders, although TCA and NMRA may not know how to view them. 

 

Those in O gauge toy have plenty of products from several makes, S does not have this, and clean Gilbert products will get harder to find.  Flyer might maintain status quo, growth there may be too much to ask.

 

As for control systems, someday they may all end up all on one circuit board, allowing the user to choose.  Until then I'd hope that folks will approach the choice of system from a problem-solution standpoint and not turn it into a holy crusade.
