K-line

That would be Broadway Limited. They make some nice stuff, primarily in HO, but also in On30. I have a couple of their sound-equipped On30 models (quite nice).

Maury Klein, over the years, threatened to sue anyone who dared do a K-Line collector's guide; hence the lack of any independent volumes covering their production. The one they did in-house is okay for a company organ (not the most reliable source of a true guide), but lacks a lot of stuff they did not want included.

Do I detect some sour grapes here because you were not allowed or asked to edit the guide?[:0]

Nope! I wasn't planning to edit any K-Line guide (TM Books was interested in doing one). I wouldn't even have edited it when I worked at Kalmbach, since we would have had someone with far more K-Line expertise than I handle the task. And when I was with Bruce Greenberg at Greenberg Publishing, we didn't mention the name Maury Klein on the premises. Turns out Bruce was a very astute man in that regard!

Back when I was in the train book publishing business, I always figured Maury was his own worst enemy. Funny how things work out in that regard if you just give them a little time! [;)]
