Howdy,

You may have noticed that the range of S scale product is shrinking very quickly, kinda like light speed from my perspective. This is good, at least from where I sit. This all comes about from the very slow sales in S , even the new kits, over the past couple of years. This may be linked t o the economy or maybe everyone in S has all that they need.

Over the years I have maintained the S kits, added new ones and even brought back a few from time to time to keep you, the modeler, happy. Lately though with some of the new kits the sales have been so off that I had to wonder why I was still taking the trouble to do them. I am probably going to disappoint some of you by discontinuing all of the kits range but it's to a point where I have to use my time a bit more effectivly.

I will be at the Houston meet with the last of the kits and they will probably be selling at fire sale prices. I have other kits and products in the lesser scales and I want to get on with it. As far as S scale is concerned there are still kits I want to make and will still keep them in the schedule though I may wait a while before producing them. It's been a great run and thanks for all of your support over the years!!!!! If you have a hanker'in to look at N, HO, or O , that's where you will find us... and 2 1/5" scale live steam!! I already have our first kit going in that scale..

If anyone is interested I will entertain offers to purchase the line of S kits, there are about 90 odd structure kits available….

thanks,

bill...
