A ton of new items to look at! Thanks.
William:
Probably the same thing that happened to On30.
Great job, getting this out so fast! Looking forward to the upcoming full report. Thanks!
But … but … but … I was told the hobby is dying!
Death where is thy sting?
I really enjoyed your report, but I have to complain about the lack of dates for the various equipment. I am modeling a 1950 era railroad, and there are lots of kits and models of that era, but also lots of later items. Why can’t you identify the dates of the models, like Kadee does?
What happened to Z scale?
Thanks for the preview – lots of great new products on the way !
