I would rather see one annual catalog with realistic production possibilities than two semi-annual catalogs fraught with delays and cancellations.

I hear you. But how can Lionel expect to get a good foothold with Fastrack if their next new piece of Fastrack won't even get announced until almost a year from now? I hope that there is a lot more in the next catalog, not from a new engine perspective, but from a baseline perspective. By that I mean scale wheels also on steam engines, Fully fleshed out track system, new diesel drive system, possible DCC integration, etc.
This is a frustrating time for newcommers to S. Trying to build a new layout right now is like trying to read a crystal ball and it is starting to bother me. I think that I am just going to finish my code 100 switching layout and play with some HO at the same time until some of the basic questions in S get worked out. If ever there was a scale in need of standards, it is S.
