Reply to "3rd Rail - Sunset Models and China Factories Closing"

nyccollectorOGR Forum Member

As the owner of three engines from Sunset 3rd Rail I feel extremely fortunate that Scott has been able to import such a wide variety of products from China and Korea given the amount of anxiety and intrigue that goes on there. From my perspective Scott has a stomach made of cast iron and the determination of a bulldog. Its now quite obvious to me, and I hope those who contribute to this forum, the amount of work and endless trips it takes to the Far East to produce any of these models.

Based on Scott's stories from the Far East I think 3rd Rail models are an absolute bargain for us here in the USA. Importing brass models from Japan 30+ years ago was an absolute breeze compared to what apparently goes on today half way around the world. Gone are the days of Westside Models, US Hobbies, KTM, United, and many others who manufactured fabulous looking models for far less money and far less hassel.

I promise I will never complain about product delays again - period.

Bravo Scott bravo!
