Gee, you all seem pretty harsh on the Athearn people. I think it was nice to get an update. Some one from an actual company took the time to write a progress report and all we can do is sit here and critcize? I see some on this forum have a lot of muscles behind the keyboard. I bet none of you are that brave in person. Let me ask all of you this. If Athearn did do all of its manufacturing here in the states, would we all be willing to spend $30.00 or more on an unassembled kit? Lets not be that silly and think Athearn is the only company doing manufacturing business overseas. This type of manufacturing trend has been going on like this since the mid 1960's. Don't beat up on somebody today, we should all have voted for other people a long time ago and put an end to this strategy. And since when does politics mix with trains and our hobby? Join a CNN or Fox forum and complain there. This forum is for those of us that have an interest outside of the real world for a few hours. If you want to female dog about the sad state of American business practices, do it somewhere else! Thank you Athearn rep for the update. Keep them coming. You make fine products and I wish you and your company nothing but success. Dave Goodlander Buffalo New York.
