Nope, but I hope somebody does...BV and the guy in the Chicago area with all the O
scale parts, fill a need. Too bad the passenger car kits, once Walther's, and then AllNation have not found a home. Must be a market for them, at internet prices for
old kits.

Agreed. It would be a shame for these parts and detail items to disappear from the market permanently.

According to a blurb in the last issue of CTT, new owners have been found and they are in the process of re-working the kits. If I remember, they named the individuals. I'm at work, so I'll have to check when I get home.
Thanks, Stewart! I have the latest issue here at home and will check as soon as I get some food in my tummy for the evening.
A bit later: Checked the last couple of issues, but I couldn't find the notice.
Allan,
Sorry for the misdirection. I know I saw the information printed somewhere. Maybe it was in one of the online magazines. It could've been Model Railroad Hobbyist. I'm about to leave work, so I'll look for it when I get home.
Found it!!!! In the December issue of MRH, December Model Railroading News. The new owners are Rich Rand and his partner John Kalin.

Fenton, Missouri 63026
Hope this helps!
Yay!! Glad this was picked up, and hope all continues.

Most of the parts other than the sides are available from Keil-line, but that's not all that helpful unless you're making your own sides.
And to honest, looking off into the future, Keil-line will be with us for.....
And, I suspect to put these kits back into production, the prices will be a lot more than the internet prices. Yet it is good to see that they at least sell; not sure if they are actually being built or just changing closets and basements to rest in though....
