Athearn owns MDC sadly, and they're mostly only looking to sell modern equipment and ready to run. They're making a huge mistake not having more offerings in steam either kit or rtr. They're only offering early early moguls and consolidations and that's it. I for one own quite a few MDC locomotives and grew up with them in HO and HOn3.

is athearn even in buisness? i think horizon is trying to destroy all my favorite lines.

Is anybody else out their who agrees with me?  

i am sad to see that Roundhouse went out of business after i fell in love with their products and was wondering if Bachmann would ever consider buying the molds to their products before they are lost. heck i bet bachmann could make the 2 truck shay 5 times better. i would also love it if they included the road names that roundhouse had. also could bachmann at least make a product line of ho trains based on short line railroads like mining and logging railroads and include oddball engines like the climax roundhouse had and boxcabs and the shays. i am sad to say that i didn't get into model railroading untill all the smaller companies are gone.
