Close up shop in June I think.  Not sure what was going to happen with inventory or molds.

He was selling his inventory off at steep discount for 4 or 5 months. Not sure if there was a plan for the tooling.

A few months ago, I purchased two n-scale JNJ wagontop cabooses from Walthers.  Now it looks as if the only items listed by Walthers under n-scale freight are discontinued.
There may be some hope of finding an item in a hobby shop.

I emailed Troy about getting some SP lights, and he stated that he is closed and that he will sell the company and tooling

Was it JnJ that had the E6 shells? I could use a couple of those now.

I guess I better start scrubbing the shows and eBay... One of the highly annoying aspects of N scale, you can't pace your projects - have to buy everything when it hits the market or lose the chance.

This is not very surprising to me.  Almost all of their shells have been made by other manufacturers now.
