Hi John; If someone came along and tried to force you to do something you wern't ready for would you....A...give in and do as they demand....or ...B...hunker down and resist their demands....be honest when you answer this question. And thier notion of compatabilaty doesn't work for me either. I do not feel the Manufactures are being totaly honest with me. regards John John; I realy don't think the manufactures gave compatibility much thought in the begining; now there locked into what ever they started with. Bachmann took a huge gamble when they made the jump from toys to "scale" 1:20.3 models. Thirty years ago I heard a figure of $100,000 for the tooling to produce a 1:24 plastic model of a scale auto. Add in a motor, electronics, and running gear plus thirty years of inflation and you have some idea of the cost to get ready for production of a locomotive. Then you have to worry about whether or not the thing will sell well enough to recover your set-up costs and hopefully produce a profit. This is not a hobby for LGB, Bachmann etc. it's a buisness and as a business they must show a profit or go out of business. So backing them into a corner with force isn't going to yield the results your looking for. As the old saying goes; "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar". OLD DAD [/quote]
