Absolutely, but the dies would not be destroyed because they discontinued the product line. That would be like a wholesale company buying 10 brand new trucks and 6 months later they decide to give the delivery contract to an outside company so they scrap the 10 trucks. Dies are assets just like trucks would be. They'd hang on to them or sell them.

I bought Dianetics about 15 years ago and made the mistake of sending in the card in the back of the book. That started it. I would get phone calls and handwritten notes from these people continuously. The book made no sense whatsoever. They are like a cult.

Exactly Richard, hence the reason I posted the question. I wanted to see if there was ANY validity to the post. Where else could one go to find out? Should I have let the original statement go unchallenged if I had doubts about it? I saw something that sounded out of the ordinary and sought explanation. I posted it not to start a "rumor" as I have been accused of but to challenge an unsubstantiated statement. We now see my mistake was not challenging the statement in the newsgroup it was posted on. It was on the Railroad Modeler newsgroup not here.
And for posting this I get falsly accused of starting a rumor by an individual on this newsgroup (not you Richard).

Well, here I disagree with you Charles - they ARE a cult.
Mark.
After pissing on your grave I will apologize.
Well alrighty then.
Don't be shy tell us how you really feel.

Charles, you needn't worry so. Your intemperate correspondent, after a few posts that were somewhat lucid and that contributed a little to the general good, has reverted to his usual personna. Over time, he has castigated most posters to this newsgroup over one imagined slight or another.
It's like observing Texas Legistlators - as long as you are from a different state. You wonder just what they are on about and and marvel that organisms without a central consciousness can cause so much tempest. In the end you tire of the foolish behavior and recognize that it has not a thing at all to do with you. To engage it/him is much like the vaunted description of pig wrestling - it does nothing other than get you dirty and it annoys the pig.
Ignore the pig
And keep contributing the dialogue on r.m.r. Regular contributors recognize understand the source of the disquiet and do not equate you with it.

Why all the animosity on this thread over what is, after all, a non-issue?
So, the molds were, or were not, destroyed. Who the heck cares?

Hey s*it for brains. He asked a question, if anyone remembered who originally posted about the alledged destruction of the Bachmann molds and on what thread it had been posted.
"In a recent post someone said the Bachmann Spectrum building molds were intentionally destroyed. I think I remember reading that but cannot find which post it was. I find it very hard to believe this is true. Anyone remember reading (or posting) this?

That's not a rumor.
If you can't answer the question, then shut up moron.
He doesn't need a logic course but you need to learn to read for comprehension.

You need to take a logic course or get better at starting rumours.
He does too?, I can barely manage one...

For best effect, thread it in one and out the other!
A friend's Mum knitted him a woolly train - that was in Wellington. It made a reasonable draught stopper - vital in that city!

You can't fault the guy for starting the thread. How many of us care about 100% of the threads here? If you can't add something positive or productive to the thread don't respond. That's really al it takes is a little discipline. When a guy gets on here and starts shooting off his mouth making accusations about starting rumors or whatever is when the threads turn nasty. I hate seeing that. It should be a friendlier hobby then this. I'll bet a lot of guys don't post because of the negative responses they might get.
Like many threads here it was a simple question that should have had a simple answer. It's when people start reading too much into the question and start trying to read the mind of the original poster and then start typing away mindlessly where the trouble starts.
Who cares? Well I kind of do. I like knowing what is going on in the hobby. It makes no sense to me that a company would destroy newer molds. If it were true, which I highly doubt, then it would be interesting to know about. I like those buildings and if the molds are gone I might try to find some of the kits on eBay or a train show.
By the way did we kind of conclude that it is nonsense that the molds were destroyed?
