- Portions of the Real Trains Inc business have been sold. What remains in California is the NKP Berkshire project and the 2" plus equipment and parts. Just about everything else - all 1½" scale stuff and tooling was recently sold to Howard Gorin of Brookline, Mass. I believe the last of the shipment arrived at his location yesterday. It amounts to about a 48 foot trailers worth. Howard has a web site for his The Machinery Works. This new acquisition has caused him to relocate his existing shop into a newer larger building. Howard already has his own line of steam locomotive lost wax detail parts that his web site does not reflect.
- RMI posted on Facebook that they bought all of the 2 1/2" and above scale product lines.
