Like others, wait and see. What concerns me is not so much who owns what company but why so much ready to run stuff. Where are all the good kits? Athern started as Globe...all kits, and developed into Athern; affordable stuff to introduce younger modelers to the hobby. Silver Streak! Even Varney. Walther was all kits, but now very few. Why all the R-T-R. I've always thought that R-T-R were toys (Lionel, Am erican Flyer, Marx etc)a place to introduce kids to the hobby and that kits were the real model railroading materials, part of the maturation process. Add to that; super detailing, custom paint etc etc and you have a great hobby. Check the prices over the past few years also. Walther appears to be pricing themselves out of the market for new comers. Anyone can get 30% off of Walthers prices from any good hobby shop, on or off line. I get better prices from my local hobby shop than from Walther.
