[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by cacole</i> <br /><br />IHC models have been marked as made in Yugoslavia, Bosnia, and other European countries before everything started being made in China. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />This is all very simple. Let me give you some facts you don't really need to know at all. [:I] <br /> <br />BentnoseWillie got it right - see his post above; it used to be Yugoslavia until the early 1990's - Yugoslavia broke apart after 1991 into: <br />-Croatia; <br />-Slovenia; <br />-Bosnia and Herzegovina (or short Bosnia); <br />-Macedonia or "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" - the Greeks objected to their using the name Macedonia 'cause it's also the name of a part of Greece. I believe this has been settled now; <br />-and finally the "new" Yugoslavia which consisted of Serbia and Montenegro, and today calls itself "Serbia and Montenegro". <br /> <br />So finally there is no more Yugoslavia in any form. The manufacturer Mehano (Mehanotehnika while the ex-ex-Yugoslavia existed) is in Slovenia. No model or toy trains were ever produced in Bosnia to my knowledge. <br /> <br />Mehano (then Mehanotehnika) was making HO models for AHM (Associated Hobby Makers), Life-Like, Model Power, Jouef (France), maybe somebody else, too, and still is making them for IHC. <br /> <br />Their N scale products were imported into the U.S. by Atlas, Model Power, MRC (Model Rectifier Corp.) that I know of. <br /> <br />So don't you let Slovenians hear you say that everything is made in China, or even worse, that any of it was ever made in Bosnia! [;)] <br />Small nations like us are extremely touchy about confusing us with somebody else, especially if it's someone we "divorced"! [tdn] [swg] <br /> <br />No hard feelings anyone! [angel] [%-)] <br />Best regards, <br />Oliver
