Stock Status
Where no local Central Hobbies web page is listed, you can
assume that we stock some of the products from that manufacturer and can order anything for
you.
The takeover of Athearn by Hobby Horizons has
complicated the Athearn supply situation. With Hobby horizons assuming a monopoly position
on distributing Athearn in the USA, all of our US sources are gone.
We can obtain and will continue to obtain Athearn Products a Canadian Distributors.
We regret the inconvenience that this will cause to our customers but we can not do anything
about it. It is a direct result of Hobby Horizons policies.
We stock very little Marklin. We can get anything in the current catalogues. If
it is in stock at the North American Distributer we can have it in under two weeks.
Hobby Horizons has taken over Model Die Casting.
We have been informed that most of the MDC kits are being discontinued. Some are now
coming out under Athearn Numbers.
