There is “An insider’s opinion on the future of American Flyer produced by Lionel:” by Michael Stevens on the American Flyer & S Gauge Enthusiasts Facebook group. I don’t know if it is okay to copy it here so I best not. Not all that interesting and nothing new really. He states he would like to produce Flyer, but they need support. A difficult balance, he says… It’s just too much money to tool up, etc. for the small quantities purchased. I guess there are just not enough S gaugers for a large scale manufacturer to bother with. And at the prices they have to charge, there never will be. Scale turnouts or not, we ain’t growin’.
So who is Michael Stevens?

The quote in question here is from 1991 FYI.
