I understand that. There are reasons on both sides for that.

How so? I am truly curious. I know the orders didn't come in on the passenger car offerings, but curious to hear your other thoughts. PM me if you need to.
@Francine posted:I've got 3 old Gilbert engines (Reading Pacific {yes it was originally labeled that way, but I have heavily modified it}, Pennsy K5 and a NYC Hudson) all upgraded to DCC. To be honest, I'd sell all of them as they don't perform nearly as well as the Flyer Chief (2 Berks, a Northern and GP7).
Hennings has/had a 2004 Pacific and Mikado - sold one) - which I thought of purchasing. Problem: they are TMCC and that's yet another operating system.
Rumor is that Scale Trains is going to use DCC from the get go, which would result in less problems than conversions.
If Flyonel does repop the Mikado, I would probably go for it.
Doubt Scale trains will do much with S but one can hope.

Unfortunately, Scale Trains has been pretty mum on S. I recall they indicated late 2022/early 2023 for some former SHS/MTH freight cars. It's WAY to early to expect locomotives or any new tooling in S.
