Model manufacturers buy-outs and take-overs

From what I have seen on these forums, Accurail has been for sale for quite a while, and will probably be the next to move on. <br /> <br />Many of these manufacturers are small companies and when the owners are ready to retire then the company is sold or folds up. This was the situation at Stewart Hobbies, luckily they sold to Bowser so we will still have their cars and engines available. <br /> <br />Look at Herald King, the owner died and the family wants too much money for the artwork so we have lost a large quantity of decals for cars made in the 60's and 70's which is an era many modelers are still doing prior to the mega-mergers. <br /> <br />My LHS will not deal with Horizon so I have to go farther afield to purchase Athearn, MDC and Intermountain Products. <br /> <br />Rick <br />
