Remember that I interviewed Ryan Kunkle of Lionel last spring and he said this:
"As a scale-minded modeler myself, I can certainly feel their pain. In the end, it comes down to money. The S Scale market is a very small portion of a very small S Gauge market. To provide some reference, in talks with some of our major dealers, S as a whole represents a smaller market for them than HOn3. Does that mean there is no hope for new tooling? No. But offerings will be fewer and further between than in other markets."
You scale S guys are really lucky to get anything from my point of view.
