[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by NHRRJET If we ever go to war with China, we will probably lose. They make practically everything we use! Made in USA?. . . .What's that? [/quote] That is exactly what "scares" me; 1. Someday everything in the USA will be foreign made, even Kellog's cereal is now made in Canada! (???) And 2. If we ever need to do what we did in WWII, and have all mfg. companies produce supplies for the war effort, the US Government would ultimately be very sorry it even allowed globalization to work in the USA. I CAN"T STAND globalization, it is literally killing America, along with allowing illegal immigrants into the country and other stupid allowances...[:0][:(!][:(!][B)][V] Enough ranting-you get my point! Anyways, Accurail, Bowser, Kadee, Micro Engineering, Red Caboose, Central Valley, American Model Builders, Branchline Trains, Details West, Bar Mills, Westerfield, Funaro & Camerlengo, Digitrax, CVP, NCE, and many other small model companies make their products here in the USA. I think Atlas Custom-Line track is still Made in USA. However, Intermountain, Atlas, Life-Like, Bachmann, Athearn, MRC, BLI, and some others I can't think of at the moment are all made in China, with the exception that Intermountian kits, couplers, and wheelsets are still in the US. Notice that the largest companies outsource their manufacturing, while smaller firms tend to stay here in the USA. It is still quite possible to make a complete layout with only the locomotives and some wiring foreign-made. BTW, where is LBF made?
