Well thats that, no LGBoA/Marklin distribution agreement this year, or from the looks of it, maybe any year.
I'm posting a link to www.Gscalemad.co.uk site, which I view as a neutral third party in this matter, which has posted a copy of the official LGB memo, but its on other LS forums as well now. So..whats next, especially considering the rumors Kingbridge will be selling off Marklin next year sometime?
Have fun with your trains

I never new about the Gscale mad forums. It seems like a good site. I did notice it deals a lot with LGB stuff. My guess its european site. Thanks for the site
Dang I still need a left R3 switch!
Vic, brain fart, needed to Thank you for the heads up Sir.

IIRC, Walthers has been granted exclusive Marklin distribution rights in the USofA. Does Walthers handle G-scale at all, or only O and smaller?

Where is my Demo Track Cleaning Car?
Hate to seem rude but...
What the heck are you talking about?
Why did you not tell us about this?
And, for my last b-day you missed my present! A used track cleaning loco.......
Toad - suggest you get out more ...onto additional large scale forums that is. This news has been discussed ad nauseum in the LGB Family Forum (link from LGBoA's home page), the G Scale Mad forum and a few other LS forums.
Bottom line is - LGBoA is in good position with Piko products; but no one yet knows how Märklin intends to market LGB to North America now that negotiations with LGBoA have broken off. Walthers is carrying Märklin's smaller scale model RR products, but there has been no announcement yet that Walthers will carry the G scale LGB products (or whatever Märklin intends to call them). It is still all speculation at the moment.
MY opinion, LGB started the growth in Large Scale calling it "G", all else followed
They made dependable products that became "over priced" when competition entered the market. They failed to reduce costs and increase detail, they tried to make everything run on a 4' circle, and they were late with American Prototypes.
If you think LGB was "over-priced" then, wait until you see Marklin pricing.

Hello old chap, I don't go to every thread and read every post and then go to every forum and read every post. I just have not the time. Sorry if I made you mad but Vic brought it up here and GR forums is my home..........and yes it is even in GR mag by Watts Train Shop.
No mark-lin for me, way to high on a fixed income!

Very strange.

"Where is my Demo Track Cleaning Car?"
Anything else you would like clarification on?

The subject title, and the entire gist of the thread was what is sure looked like you were confused on.
That's okay.
Son, when you quote me, "And, for my last b-day you missed my present! A used track cleaning loco......." border="0" width="25" height="23" />" quote the whole quote, Savy?
