(Dave Fallon) It saddens me greatly to see Athearn disappear into the hugh mega- companies that seem to be consuming everything intheir pathes. I loved Athearn as a family company that seemed to be in touch with the Railfan. I've asked about things from them for thirty-five years and always rec'd a reply; mainly handwritten; I bet that's gone with Horizon! I enjoyed Athearn's kits, and I want kits, buts that's also gone! Has this hobby got so lazy it doesn't want to put things together anymore. And the prices, they're out of sight; I don't suspect they'll be too many kids coming along to take our places when were gone! Sorry to see Athearn lost forever, but money speaks louder than loyalty, and that's what Mr. Irv had for his railfan friends and customers. If I'm going to have to pay the new higher inflated prices, I'll just buy Proto 2000 instead!!!!!!
