Horizon had done much to incurr my wrath. They have forced me after spending four years pursueing a college degree to provide credentials for a business in custom run locomotives, to change my plans as in my location Athearn was the only economical base for which to make my product. Now I have to consider other options thanks to them. For my personal modeling, except for the products that only Athearn makes to complete my plans currently under way, I will not buy any Athearn ever again. Proto-2000 and Atlas also make the locomotives I need and I believe everyone will agree they run much better than Athearn any day of the week. Bowser makes most of what I need in the way of steam locomotives and even provides me with a way to model Union Pacific locomotives again as their Challenger and Big Boy kits are only sold as Undecorated kits, thus making it outside the perview of the Union Pacific trademark battle. What these three companies can not provide I am willing to scratcbuild. For my rolling stock I was planning on tappiong Branchline and Accurail to fill my needs. The fact that Branchline and Bowser were added to the Wathers Catalog only makes my life more convenient. I feel if horizon doesn't need Walthers, then I do not need Horizon as the Walthers catalog is my benchmark for what is avialable. I will miss Model Die Casting as well. But Accurail makes everything MDC did and better in my opinion. In closing Horizon has incurred my wrath and I refuese to do business with them unless they pay me to use their stuff. Which I dont think will happen. Besides I am getting the urge to build something, where is my mill file? James
