One can't help but wonder why the sale of Athearn to a company relatively unknown to the model RR community. Did Athearn over extend itself in capital spending, and needed an infusion of cash; thus a lucrative offer from Horizon? Or was it running away from getting swallowed up by Walthers, but for the same reason? <br />Regardless of the cause, the effect will be eventual higher cost and limited distribution by discount distributors.
