Reply to "What if Lionel were to build S Gauge steam engines with plastic shells."

I think this tread is starting to circle the drain. We've gone from plastic vs. metal steamers to the cost of tooling to control systems to scale/hirail daffynitions to BTO.

And what's been accomplished? Nothing. This has been about as effective as all the attendance threads after each York.

Realistically, all I want is some consistency from Lionel be it Traditional Flyer, Hirail, or crumbs for Scale. I really don't care. Every time the door rotates over there it's back to square one.

Note: I like my scale converted SD's and the deep flange scale propotioned Flyer I own. Looks good, runs fine.

And from MTH: All I want are my Illinois Central TOFC's and my Santa Fe F3's. That's it.

Anything newly announced this year from either company will probably be coming out after I retire and I'll be busy figuring out how to live on a fixed income.

And I'm sure Ryan's reaching for the Advil right about now.
