Good news for Athearn, after a few years in the slump, now they'll have a bit of corporate parent influx to produce more and sell cheaper.

Mergers of thsi sort usually involve soem streamlining, no more outside accounting fees, less management cost, ect. so look forward to better Athearn products soon.

WOW!!
I hope Horizon Hobby continue's to let Athearn be Athearn. Unless they improve the company somehow. Not sure how they would do that.
I haven't had a complaint with them yet, & hope I I never will.

I hope this doesn't effect modellers in a negative way.
