After nearly twenty years, we’re retiring from the custom car printing business. With Athearn’s decision to no longer supply “blue box” kits, and rising costs for printing ink and plates, to say nothing of the age of the printer, we’ve decided to put the press away and devote all of our time and resources to our full service model railroad store. On a personal note, I have had so much fun creating the designs for the cars, and derived great satisfaction from seeing them finished. But perhaps the best part of the business has been making so many new friends. I may only get to talk with you on the phone, but I feel like we’ve known each other for years, and I’ll surely miss hearing from you. But we don’t have to say, “Good Bye.”
