Francine, I understand your point about complaining, however when I read what the O gauge people write often it is complains also. The online discussions here are one of the only ways that people get to express themselves about their feelings about what companies are providing them. This is also a place where these companies can listen if they choose to.
When I interview these companies for the S Gaugian I get a chance to hear their viewpoints on the S market and get to understand their perspective. The average person doesn't get to do this so they speak from only their perspective when they write here.
I think these companies want to please the market always, but limitations for new tooling and design costs restrict what they can do. The companies that build products for several gauges have to put most of their money where the payback is the highest. That is not S and we know that.
For my part I would like to see less complaining also. Discussion of a positive and helpful nature would probably be received better than the almost insulting comments about what Lionel and MTH does or doesn't do from this group.
