[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tangerine-jack So, I take a long weekend and there are 3 more pages to this topic!! Well, on that note, hey kimbrit, yes it is hard to believe America invented absolutely everything, but it's true! I ride and restore Triumph motorcycles and yes, weeds are not a problem under a parked bike, along with your boots not rusting from the oil splatters. Harleys may be assembled in the US, but the wheels, wiring, fuel and ignition systems are all Jap. To kimbrit and troybetts and all the other UK readers, the next time I'm in the UK, drinks at Gillespie's are on me! I'll even by dinner at the Peppermill! To our Aussie readers, thanks for your support in the war on terror, you guys are the absolute best! It's too bad we can't understand a thing you say. The next time we pull Europe out of the fire, the loser gets to keep France! Back into the fray!!!!!!!![oX)] [/quote] It is no secret that the Economy of the United States has made a shift from a goods economy (manufacturing) to one of a service economy. I prefer Bachmann Trains, not so much that they are American Made, but rather becuase they are within my price range. A bit on manufacturing... Much of the LGB stuff is wunderbar, but it is higly expensive. My hat goes (and I sometimes think i am the only man in the western hemisphere who still wears a fedora hat) off the Germans for their excellent (albiet expensive) items. Aristo is pretty good also, I am in awe over their variety and I plan to use thier track, with its hex-head screws, for my main lines (LGB for sidings). USA TRAINS has an excellent "work train series," but I cannot find a retailer or regular wholesaler that sells any of it. Must one order it directly from them?
