I'm also glad to see Walthers continue as a family business with established leaders already in place.

We've seen too many model railroad companies simply cease to exist when their founders/owners decided to retire or were forced to because of ill health.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

This all sounds like good news to me.

For me, Walthers makes most of the items that I purchase. They seem to have figured out what I need, hopefully other modelers too.

She's had a long career already at Walthers and is well-qualified to lead this crucial organization forward in the midst of immense change in the hobby and business worlds.
