Athearn posted the following to Facebook a few minutes ago: >>>>> Blast the horn! We’re celebrating a BIG event in our manufacturing transition. The tooling from our supplier who closed in January has been moved to the factory that produces many of our Genesis models. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be evaluating the tooling and taking the steps necessary to begin production. Although reacquiring our tooling is a major step, we still have a-lot to accomplish before we begin projecting ETAs. We truly appreciate your support and patience. We look forward to sharing more about our progress in the near future. >>>>> Blue-box Doug
To me this may end up being a positive thing. Any time a manufacturer updates their tooling a better modl is produced. I have been told by a manufacturer that I work with that the tooling or dies wear out in time and have to be replaced. Rock on Athearn!
