Anybody know what's going on with BLW and Digitrax?

BLW no longer carrying Digitrax.

Seems odd.   Have a falling out?

What I heard BLW had trouble getting stock from Digitrax. I'm guessing it's the same reason Athearn won't sell to BLW.

My understanding is Horizon who owns Athearn won't sell to BLW because they do not have a storefront.

Yes, I believe that this is the reason (BLW is an online-only retailer), but I have no idea about Digitrax and BLW.

Correct about Athearn. No idea about the Digitrax situation. Bigger question is will anyone notice when their decoders are no longer carried at BLW?

Pete told me a different reason - I am not sure he wanted the whole story shared - but it was more like he dropped them due their treatment of distributors.
