Really? Hmmm, not surprised.


Yeah, the rumor is that they are dumping N scale to really concentrate on Z scale - the small scale that has a real future!   ;)

Peteski, I think the power of a Pete and repeat of the Walthers is dumping N scale has traction. Oh boy.

LOL!  And I even used the word "rumor" to dispel any notion of that statement being factual.  :D  I guess that if enough people gripe about lack of N scale commitment from Walthers, it won't take much to convince them that it is true.

Walthers is completely abandoning N now? Really? No manufacturing, no selling?

Who said that, this is just a sale they do to clear out inventory...inventory that sits on a shelf makes no money, gotta clear the shelves for new product.

Um, see about half way down page 1 of this thread and connect the dots.  :D

So, people teasing Walthers will cause them to take their kickball and go home?, and I thought it was only about the money.

The intelligentsia on this forum with their ardent views prove the old axiom that if it's written on the internet it must be true.   ;)

 :facepalm: :facepalm:  I wasn't talking about Walthers!   :facepalm: :facepalm:  I was talking about modelers who read my comment that Walthers is getting out of N to concentrate on Z scale.  The more I explain the joke, the more tangled things become.   Oy!

Ah, gotcha. Didn't get the joke.  :tommann:  Jokes are serious business, and best left to the professionals like Jimmy Fallon, as seen here,

It's going to be a funny political season. :D

Ordered two BLMA gons on July 31. Confirmation of order, but no order # or shipping notice received as of August 10. Called them. Order not in system...one of the gons not in stock, must have killed the order. Don't have that happen with MBK or BLW.

Anyway, the lady on the phone went all out to find my order but couldn't. Reentered for the one car they had and they threw in the shipping for my trouble.

Maybe they lost some of their warehouse space and are downsizing. That would lend credence to the rumor.  :D

267 N-scale items. Deep discounts on some items.

The link no longer works, so I guess that makes it official. Walthers is out of business.  :D
