Title: 2015 Williams Catalog
Post by: cchott on February 19, 2015, 12:49:01 PM
I noticed that the 2015 Williams catalog shows no Hudson or Berkshire locomotives. Are these being discontinued permanently?

I noticed that the 2015 Williams catalog is the smallest yet with the least amount of product shown.  I am also wondering what the fate is of those models not depicted here.

Guys,

You can see that several of the models that were out of the catalog a few years ago are now back with different features.  (The Genesis, GP38, and FA-1.)  We give the models a year or so to clear out the pipeline from time to time.  We invest a significant amount of money in tooling in each model we make, so they won't sit on the shelf forever.
