Their website says they are "temporarily closed" and they haven't posted anything to FB for 6 years. Ruh roh?

Thanks,

I am pretty sure they were at the Rocky Mountain train show last month and they have shut down the website once before when they moved from the east coast to Colorado.

I know that they had been not getting much of the Martin Wellberg stuff in for restocks so who knows.

I wouldn't read to much into it....yet.  They've closed for vacations before around this same time and they just finished their annual Memorial Day sale on Tuesday.  I just ordered a new batch of Super Trees back in April and they arrived without any issues.

They had a lot more then just the Martin Wellberg line, so this would be a huge surprise if they did suddenly close. 

Cheers,
Brian

I just ordered from them at the beginning of the week and my package is out for delivery today. Wonder if they ran out of a lot of products as they refunded me for some items claiming they were out of stock from the sale.

OK, thanks. The good news is that the product I'm looking for can be had via hobby shop, so I'll just go that route.

Speaking of this, is the Martin Wellburg stuff unobtanium?  Scenic Express has been out of stock for a long time... not sure if anyone else carries it.

Mike,

We recently used some Martin Wellburg products on the new Morgan Ave module. Tom obtained it online but it shipped from the UK.

I have been sourcing all of my 1 and 2mm grass from Europe since they can’t or won’t keep a decent stock.

When did you see this? I just checked the website and everything looks perfectly normal.

I saw it when I clicked on a product.

I'm HOPING it just means that they're modernizing the site.
