HO ain't perfect on availablity either... See my above comment about the Athearn SP MT-4.
I wouldn't disagree with you about your other points, however.
We'll still be here if you change your mind.

Rusty, I think you are correct in that all the various manufacturers have delivery problems. Look at the Weaver thread on the O scale side and there is your proof! The only thing I see that makes this a bit different is that with Lionel it seems a recurring certainty that stuff is delayed and encompassess the ENTIRE catalog of newly tooled S scale products for 2012. I have to say I'm disapointed to see that Lionel is basically going to forefit releasing any new S scale product for almost the entire year of 2012. Do I even need to mention the fastrack turnouts? So much for progress and it looks like S will be the fastest growing scale......next year.
