Reply to "On The Shipping Schedule"

Hats off to Don for creating the S-track system in the first place! It is arguably the best looking roadbed track in any scale. However, I don't know why SHS stopped at just one turnout. I am sure there were business decisions behind that and I would never pretend to know what was going on at the time.

 

From a customer point of view it is hard to make the decision to go with S-Trax right now unless you already have a bunch. Price, availability, single turnout, no crossings make it a tough call for someone like me planning a new layout. My hunch is that by the time SHS is back online ready to make track again sometime next year that Lionel will have at least announced quite a few more pieces in the Fastrack line. I wish S-Trax was available and had multiple turnouts and crossings, but it isn't. Lionel has at least said they are committed to a full line of Fastrack and right now that's the best someone in my position can ask for. So unless some miracle happens it looks like it will be Fastrack for me.

 

Now, if Lionel sees fit to offer scale wheel steam, then this is a moot point and I will go code 100.
