What you talking 'bout Willis?

Micro Trains is still making N scale rolling stock a plenty.
Still as crappy and collectable as ever.

They stopped making N scale compatible rolling stock a few months back when they pulled out the lo-pro wheels.  Now everything is back to N gauge Hi-rail.

I assume you mean the Walthers website?

In the past, Micro-Trains has refused to sell to distributors, selling direct to dealers, which is what Bowser does. This gives them the distributors' markup. I don't know, a dealer will have to comment on this.

I must be missing something, I get 12 pages of Micro-trains freight cars on the Walther website.

http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?category=Freight&scale=N&manu=489&item=&keywords=&instock=Q&split=30&Submit=Search

edit:  sorry, didn't see the previous post.

Walthers pays the same price as dealers. MTL pulled their products out of the distribution channel years ago.

There are no N scale rolling stock on the MTL website and none in the Walthers catalog. The horder LHS' are waiting for us to pay 22.00 for a box car.
