LGB Coca-Cola Series...
Posted by LGBtrains1963 on Thursday, July 3, 2008 10:35 PM
I know there are a lot of people out there who think that the LGB Coca-Cola series is a waste of plastic and these items should not be made, but I say they should....  The reason I say that is because there is many Coca-Cola collectors out there and this might bring people into the hobby that would have never went into the hobby before... It is a double win for everyone... I collect LGB and my wife collects Coca-Cola items and it was a perfect fit, she now has me going for these LGB Coke items as well as my regular roads (D&RG, D,S.P.&P.).. I think Marklin should rethink this and keep this part of LGB alive............

Dude, you need to go read the wild and crazy threads about it.

 

As for Coke, yeah if you like it and she likes it just do it! Myself I am a DP person. But I am known to kitbash LGB. Everyone has there thing. But still Mark ain't said squat about keeping American GR alive?! Just no new trains?! But we are in someone else hands who may/may not.

Toad, your right, who knows.... I do know this, LGBoA has the rights until 2012.. So it may be a long time until we get LGB back in the states...
