Hmmm.  Am I the only one who would miss Accurail, Bowser, and Tichy? Whistling

I would as I only intend to buy American made now, and I desperately need C&O coal hoppers!

I am finding myself on more "advanced order" lists than I can believe.  Very seldom that I can just walk into the hobby shop and find something on the shelf to buy except for parts and misc. stuff.  I admit to having more HO than I can ever run now, but I would still like some of the new stuff coming out, but give me a break.  Advance lists for 10 months out?  I could be dead or in jail or starting a new hobby 10 months from now.  I have been in HO since early 1960's and I have always enjoyed being in HO.  Now I am fed up with the new policies these manufacturers are using, (wait, strike that "manufacturers" and call them importers instead.  That is more realistic.

I am not pre ordering anything now, new policy.  I will pay for whatever I have already advanced ordered since I was dumb enough to do so, but I am not going to keep buying new stuff that I can't get in the local hobbyshop, which also seems to be drying up.

Baah Humbug!!!!
