Hi Ian!

Those units are being still being produced by our electronics partner, Massoth Elektronik. The only change is that they are now being marketed by Massoth also. For more information, see www.massoth.de

Thanks!

Thanks Dave;

I have already found that out myself. But why? who are Massoth and their website isn't much, looks good but no info!

I am looking into automating my layout further and these products are not ideal for me but they will work but what if you cant get a replacement down the track or need support.

Hi Ian:

Since Dave has not answered you back yet, probally away or busy, I'll jump in here.

As I understand it and or have seen, Massoth has been making the electronics or helping LGB with that for a long time.

As I understand it and or have seen, now Massoth will be marketing direct, some of the same LGB electronics items as well as more/other electronics items of this type to expand our choice of goodies for our layouts.

I think this will be a win-win deal for us.

Hope this helps: Jeff [8D]

Hi Ian,
I use some Massoth gear, lighting boards etc, and they are very well made. Not very strong in the english department but reliable.
