While you were gone, Athearn was sold and now is exclusive to Horizon Models. The fact that Horizon will only sell to hobby shop dealers and not other distributors or to the bargin basement dealers should be taken to court to see if they can force a monopoly on their products in a market that is very small, and now they can control the prices as they see fit. You can look forward to higher prices and limited amount of products available from Horizon as one distributor cannot stock the same level as literally hundreds of small distributors. My feeling is that Athearn will sell less products overall now because more people sold their product prior to this action and Horizon will have to stock more of their own products.
