Someone mentioned today Bachmann is selling some stuff cheap, so the question from a business standpoint arises: " Is Bachmann getting out of the On30 business?"

Many, many of us have invested time,  dollars, and enthusiasm in this product line, enhanced it's reputation in the hobby, made a bunch of new friends along the way.  One of the biggest fans of On30 was Lee Riley himself, bur we haven't heard anything from him in a long time.

The comments about product in the warehouse is disturbing as to me, it means there is no emphasis about this scale.  How long can they push the old stuff that they built too much of.  How many articulated locomotives do we need?  Geared locos are great...., but the price is prohibitive to most.

Some folks have suggested going back to the early, simpler products that started the On30 frenzy.....2-6-0's, small 18 ft rolling stock, and a remake of the Davenports, and the Porter(both). a dependable, reasonable railtruck come to mind.

I wonder if we might get a reply to these comments. I fear for the future of On30

What is the timeline for more short cars, flats, gondolas, box cars?  Also, will it be a token run, or will  they produce a decent quantity?
Would like to get some more.

Heard that the two porters, the 0-4-0, and 0-4-2, are being discontinued.  Too bad..the 0-4-2 is a good little loce.
