FWIW, it's actually better than many model railroad manufacturer sites ...

Sadly, this is quite true. The majority of model manufacturer websites are somewhere between mediocre and dreadful. To get an idea, here's a fairly comprehensive set of links to explore--

If nothing else, it's encouraging to see such a small company plunking down tooling for something thats not only new, but also east-coast oriented. I'd love to see them rise to be somewhat of an anti-Kato. Hopefully they do produce these and do well with them. Figure they'll probably offer a 3 or 6-pack which will be an inherent discount, and then take off 25-30% for purchasing them at your favorite FaRTS, and they'd probably be quite reasonable if you needed Top Gons.

About half the discussion you see about Huberts is "are they for real" (true) and the other half is "are they run by the people from LBF" (of course false).

They could do themselves no better favor than spending a few bucks on their website to tell WHO THEY ARE and show off the products - and tell where the %$#@# to buy them.

For months their home page said something about "we're going do it the way Opie did it" or something like that. Really a great way to explain who you are.

Yeah. Have you clicked on their "About Us" link? "This is the basic about us page for Hubert's Model Railroad Mfg. Corp." They don't even need to spend a buck to have this changed...
