That's good to hear, Sparky - I see where they've re-released their derrick flat cars, which have been out of production for ages. I emailed the people at Athearn recently, and they assured me that the blue box kits, including the undecorated ones, will continue to be made, as long as we continue to buy them, i.e. as long as there is a demand. Of course, they could always be lying, who knows? But that's the word from the horse's mouth, as it were. I've seen a lot of sellers on eBay and elsewhere trying to create a panic by saying that kits would discontinued and no longer available in the future, with the sale of Athearn to Horizon. Don't know where they're getting their information, from their distributors maybe? Although I see on LBF's website that they'll be discontinuing some of their kits, and will only have RTR of some of their product lines.
