Thanks Dave. In O , it takes many years to collect all the items needed to model yesteryears train operations. I have picked up items as they came out, hoping to add to them in later on.
I have bits n pieces waiting until other supporting models are offered. Not a good thing. MFG's cater too much to holiday people.
Everything should be in stock for those to buy in order to model a certain road. Everything should always be available to those who wish to model a complete road name. But marketing isn't up to that I guess?
I feel sorry for those who just entered the O hobby. They will never ever get the chance to aquire or model a certain road with all that is required. Especially with the loss of Weaver. It's sad that someone who worked there couldn't have continued the business. But I guess no one could make much of a profit in a dying model train market these days. Atlas and Lionel who bought Weaver molds raised the prices and screwed it all up.
We don't have that problem with H.O. Guess we O scale 3 railers will never shake that toy / stereo type?
Good luck in finding what you desire!
Probably will never see another B&O Sand Service car again. Thanks Joey H. for providing one!
