I want to apologize for keeping our sale to M.T.H. under wraps. Mike Wolf asked that we did not disclose the purchase of the SHS production assets until all of the tooling as well as other related items had been transferred. As the joint press release stated, Mike Ferraro and I are excited about the continued use of our tooling by M.T.H. and the new products they will be bringing out in S Scale. It was no secret the problems SHS was having with the holding company of Sanda Kan. And, once the notice went out 23 months ago that they would not accept new purchase orders for production, we knew our options were limited. But, we happily found someone whose goals were the same as ours and who was sizeable enough to invest what was needed to continue what we had started. You can find a link to the joint press release on our new website: www.stacktalk.com Right now, the sale is continuing. For those who do not know...you can get any 4 SHS freight cars for $100. This includes our extended vision cabooses too. For the 3 car sets, you can get two for $100 or, they can count as two cars. The B1G14F sale (Buy 1 Get 1 for Free) on switchers, NW2s and SW8s will continue. DCC sound is an extra $100 per unit. Like our SW1 and SW9, these will all be gone shortly. We have added the 00292 25” curved track as a buy 4 boxes for $100. You can find the current order form on the website. I think all of the back orders have been shipped except our remote control switches. They are the last product of ours still at Sanda Kan. Before they can be shipped, they all need to be tested. We hope to see these later in the summer. If you have a repair with us I want to apologies for any delays. Our good friend and repair guy, Bill broke his leg here while Robin and I were in Florida. He started to work again last week. We are hoping he will be here for our Open House on June 8th, this may be our last June Open House. Next, you have a deposit on a Christmas car, you can use this for the sale or we will be refunding your deposit if we do not hear from you... Lastly, Mike and I want to thank all of our customers and friends that have helped us over the years with bringing what we feel were the best in S Scale products. The list would be too long to mention here, but just a few would be Wai Shing Ting, the past general manager of Sanda Kan, of course Ron Bashista of American Models who trusted us with his projects when we first started, Bill Clark, our webmaster supreme, the late Howie Waelder who was a great inspiration, as well as lots of others, Ron Sebastian, my older brother, Jim Kindraka, my younger brother, both were there to give a shoulder during difficult times, Bill Moitz, our repair guy and my modeling buddy, John Prior, Navigator on many trips to conventions ....there were more, lots more, but I would be surprised if anyone was still reading this....
