Re: Walters discontinuing Athearn?

Horizon policies doing Walthers favors or ? I'm not following you here.

Yes. The same will occur with Model Die Casting as well. On the other hand they have picked up Branchline and Bowser as full lines.

I think then "them" is Horizon Hobbies, not Walthers.

Nice example of the "unclear pronoun reference". :-)

I wonder if they cut deal with Toy Train Heaven (Bowser's wholesale arm) to stop selling discounted Walthers products as a condition of carrying the full Bowser line.

Hoo boy, did he get THAT right! Some years back some group passed around the Bill of Rights as a petition and a lot of people refused to sign it - said it sounded Communist to them :-).

That's because, at the time, the "Founding Fathers" were radicals and, possibly, traitors and were encouraging armed revolution.

You can't go around today, as then, doing any of the above without upsetting the ruling classes.
