Well, I'm sure that the term "modern" is relative. For me, anything built after the 60s is modern.

Agreed. Wasn't someone else going to make the Vert A Pack at one time?

"For more than a decade we have been behind the scenes, developing and manufacturing model trains for today's prominent model train companies. With over 100 highly detailed models having been completed under our direction, we are now unveiling our own line..."

Sounds to me like the Chinese, or possibly Ajin in Korea, have decided to "cut out the middleman". Yes, we live in interesting times, alright.

Gregg, I don't think so - the western/SP fans over at Trainorders all know exactly who this is - and are not telling - it's supposedly someone who worked with Cannon and then went on to other projects.

Some guys on the MFCL group apparently know who it is, too.  They confirmed that it's NOT Fred Becker, (sp?) which was the initial concern.

The ad implies that the models will be ready for purchase when the website is live.  If so, good for them.

The site was registered by John Pestana (if that name means anything):
