I'll use every cent I get buying a few SD40-2s before Horizon makes you pay $75 each (which is posible).

Even worse, there $90 (RTR only)![:(][:(][:(!][:(!][V][V]

i have stopped in a some hobby shops in mid michigan and they say they will stop stocking Athearn locomotives and rolling stock altogether by at least 2005. people buy your Athearn locos and freight cars while you can. as for myself. i am going to buy my freight cars from walthers and mdc.

Personally, I have very mixed feelings about this sale of Athearn. If Horizon is the only distributor, a lot of sales will be lost, and distributors who have been loyal to Athearn for years will be totally cut out! This will obviously trickle down to us. . .the consumer. I guess only time will tell what happens. I have spoken with several hobbyshop owners in my area (Connecticut), and they are not too pleased about this![:(!]

Don't worry Richard. Terry Thompson assures us that this is a very good thing for the hobby so we can all relax now. [B)]

Sleep well!
