Well I figured there was a lot going on behind the scenes, but of course this is certainly an interesting development. Since the majority of the S and HO scale line were sold off separately I guess it really should not comes as a surprise that O gauge line is breaking up.
- First thought - Atlas are you kidding me? I don't buy their product now because it astronomically priced, and they have a reputation of taking forever to bring anything to market. Are $450 diesels about to become $700 diesels? O gauge costs dearly now, I can't imagine what this will do.
- second thought, hmmm, if they are hiring some of the people maybe things will speed up.
- cost to consumer is going to depend a whole lot on tooling cost to Atlas. The molds aren't brand new so depreciation should be involved in the sales price.
- licensee to dcs huh? - okay well that's interesting. clearly dcs isn't dying today - Yea!
-No steam engines, that's odd, then again, Atlas doesn't usually make steam engines so maybe that means nothing
- Still waiting for independent dcs company announcement. What is happening with dcs as a stand alone company and what are the exciting products that were teased? Inquiring minds want to know!!
- Looks like there was a spoiler alert - railking going else where - that's very good news.
- Following the rest of these developments will be exciting, but still bittersweet.
- My guess is that WBB may step up for the railking line, but I guess we will see.
