Last I heard, from what my hobby shop boss told me, they are working on get HO rail, track and turnouts back out onto the market first.  That was a few months ago.  We've gotten some HO stuff from them, but are currently out of a lot of rail and flex ourselves.

They are listed as attending the 2024 narrow Gauge convention in Sept.

And soon they'll be saying, "hey, we make a lot more profit selling HO stuff than we could with N scale, so why not we just stay HO only?"

N scales, "we don't get no respect."

Quite the oposite the new owners have mentioned a desire to expand their N scale offerings.

Rocky Mountain Train Supply (N Scale Supply) shows code 55 and code 70 flex track in stock.  I bought a bundle of code 55 flex a few months ago when I last stopped in there.  I'm assuming it was somewhat newly manufactured, as they hadn't had any ME flex track in stock for quite a while.  The track still had some of the flash issues that had become more prevalent as the molds were wearing out, but it also wasn't as bad as it had been.

I'm glad they were "rescued." ME represents an invaluable contribution to the hobby writ-large. Although my turnouts are Peco, all of my HOn3 flex track on the RGS is Micro Engineering.

And God bless their N scale code 55 bridge track and steel trestles...

I am just glad they are still Missouri based, they left St. Louis area to Macon, MO. about three hours away.
I have been extremely tempted to drive up there just to see if they have any walk in business, and hour trip for me would save on shipping costs for flex.

I don't think they have a formal office if that's what you're anticipating. We have a vacation cabin in the area, and I have been checking the available address information (multiple sources). So far it all pretty much points to a pole barn on Mr. Wiggin's acreage on the outskirts of town, south of US36 and Macon Lake dam. I wouldn't plan on any visit without contacting them first.

The only reason I say that is due to the business hours posted in a Google search, it could reference their phone hours too. I was planning on calling before randomly showing up obviously.
