Reply to "AF Berkshires"

I have communicated with Ryan via email.  His response is below.

While I am disappointed, I can understand the business decision. Let's hope that they can develop a new steam engine soon and have orders meet tooling and production costs.

Bill,

Got your message but don’t have time to return your call today. The Legacy Berk run was cancelled for the reasons outlined to the dealers. Tooling costs came in much higher than anticipated and when spread across the order numbers the cost of production was prohibitive. We’ve looked into other alternatives over the past several months and ultimately had to come to this decision.

Thank you,

Ryan

 Ryan,

Did the tariff situation cause the price to increase?  If so, have other items been cancelled for the same reason?

Thanks,

Bill

 No. This had nothing to do with tariffs. It is exactly what I said – too much tooling, too little orders.
