well, the first tidbit came in this email from Athearn concerning their HO scale 4-6-6-4 challenger locomotives. [quote]QUOTE: Second, we are REDUCING the retail price of these great behemoths! We have received information that another maker of Challengers is again leaving the HO marketplace, and will be liquidating their remaining Challengers. We want to make certain that our faithful dealers and consumers don't get fooled by a large price differential.[/quote] Lionel and Rivarossi are the only ones making challengers in HO, and Lionel is the only real competator to the Athearn model. now there is someone on the Atlas HO forum stating that he has a source that says Lionel is bankrupt and going out of business, most likely due to the MTH lawsuit. this would be pretty bad if true. has anyone heard any more information or any credible rumors on this??
