I think I saw the writing on the wall when I heard that Athearn was sold. Consolidation with larger companies always turns the same card "The Money Card !!!!!" Believe me I've seen it happen for real where I live now, Charlotte, NC. The second largest banking city in the country. Acquisition is the name of the game. Of course what is not mentioned in the hype about better service and savings is that soon after acquisition comes that dreaded word "Downsizing" "We have to reconfigure to insure economic stability" Economic stability for who ?? The stockholders, the BIG stockholders. Be damned that during the past year 6,000 people were put out of work just in this area alone. I'm [:(] that our brothers and sisters are going to be hurt by this action. Maybe that's one reason why I chose to model in the era before there were diesels. Just a lucky move I guess. Things have a way of working out though. Wait and see. <br /> <br />JR <br /> <br />
