Reply to "The Frustrations Of S Gauge/Scale"

Francine,

I continue to disagree but respect your opinion. If S is to survive it must grow. A investment in some new kid items may grow the market creating new revenue. This is Economics 101. If your base is shrinking and you do not offer any new products it will continue to shrink because the demand begins to shrink as people age out of the market. Now I do agree that some of the people interested in the Polar Express were parents and grandparents who purchase it for younger kids. Those extra sales only helped S and did not hurt it. Without the polar express we may never have gotten the Berkshire made. Thomas the Tank Engine, Harry Potter etc can only help sales and thus help the future. (Maybe not in year one but may years 2, 3 and 4).

I'm just saying keep an open mind to the possibility that further development in this area could help S not hurt it.
