I'm not a S scale collector, but I do feel for those who were looking for highly-detailed scale-length cars to have in their train collections. When it comes to full-length passenger cars, it seems that Scott is one of the top guys to go to, on account of their not being too many properly scaled O scale passenger cars to begin with. I was initially gonna get some of MTH's passengers cars they made for commuter trains, but then I realized that they were actually shorter than what they really should be, and so I eventually decided not to get them. The cancelling of the S scale makes me even more grateful that the Amfleet cars are being produced, because just like everything else Scott makes, there is a chance it may not get produced if it isn't popular enough (but then again this is the case for most, if not all, model/toy trains in general). Trust me, if I had the money and space, I would've easily ordered one of each 5-car sets that were available. Not sure if I am wording this correctly, but I hope I am getting my point across correctly. Again, my sympathies to those who put in an order for S scale passenger cars (and the O42 O scale cars as well).
