Just received the following e-mail news from Athearn. The links to photos are interesting, showing the inside of their plant. Note these photos are farily large, and may take some time to download if you have a slow Internet connection. <br /> <br />Enjoy! [:D] <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau <br /> <br />============================================ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greetings, <br /> <br />One of our most important tasks right now is planning for 2005 kit <br />production. Kits are still being manufactured at our Carson, California <br />facility and next year we plan to have a full slate of models in <br />production. <br />We will be posting next years schedule on the Athearn News as soon as it <br />is finalized. Currently we have plans in place through August of next <br />year of our famous Blue Box rolling stock kits. As soon as we finalize <br />further plans, we will issue a schedule for September through December. <br /> <br />We would like to close this issue of the Athearn News with some snap <br />shots that we recently took in our Carson Facility. <br /> <br />Here¹s a shot of our storage area <br />http://www.athearn.com/newsletter/1204early/Athearnracks.jpg <br /> <br />Here¹s a shot of the locomotive production line <br />http://www.athearn.com/newsletter/1204early/Athearnline.jpg <br /> <br />Here¹s a shot of a print machine <br />http://www.athearn.com/newsletter/1204early/Athearnprint.jpg <br /> <br />Here¹s a shot of bodies being readied for painting <br />http://www.athearn.com/newsletter/1204early/Athearnpaint.jpg <br /> <br /> As you can see, production is in full swing in California. There is a <br />lot of Athearn product currently in stock with new items being made or <br />received almost every day. <br /> <br />The Folks at Athearn <br /> <br />Wishing you Happy Holidays and a Joyous and Prosperous New Year <br /> <br />
