Gary, I agree with you totally about MDC. I am not at all surprised give the status of the company and owner etc. Hopefully this will be a positive thing. I see the same situation with Accurail - running on "low power" and a prime candidate for buyout since those in charge or ownership...

I don't imagine things will change much Dash. MDC wasn't exactly producing much of their full product line anyway, so the fact that there will be less production to avoid duplication probably won't affect what we see on the store shelves much. As far as buying up the competition and raising...

Here is an old equation: MDC + old owner = nothing but warmed over trains My reaction to this Horizon buying MDC out is a big *yawn* I have about all the MDC stuff I'll ever need, so this announcement doesn't rattle my cage. MDC hasn't produced anything new in many years. I could use some...

I got a custom special run Intermountain Chessie CF4750 3-bay hopper last year.

Do I know you from Atlas? Perhaps by another name also?

Here is a picture by Jim Griffin of the other side of the same hook: You'll have to click on MOW Equipment and then find Derrick 028 http://www.geocities.com/drgwlpd/drgw.html

I just looked through all the maintentence equipment in Jim Eagers Rio Grande Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, and it appears that the Roco model doesn't match any of the "hooks" shown. The 028 Big Hook is about the closest although if you look at the window layout etc and the...

I keep my KD pins on... I figure they would be alot of trouble to put back if I changed my mind later! Plus I want the option of using the magnetic automatic capabilities of the couplers.

Most of what I buy is 70's and 80's rolling stock, so the poll couldn't reprent me - I chose the 1960-1980 group since I've been buying mostly cars built in the 1970's lately, like the PC&F 50' box cars, and the PS CF4750 covered hoppers etc. Here are some examples of the kind of stuff that...

Hi, I thought I'd come on over and see what happened to the other Refugee's - I used a different username than Atlas but you can probably guess who this is.
