<div dir="ltr">Barry and group</div>
<div dir="ltr">I was at the show on Saturday
and I looked at the test builds that they brought to display.
They look great but I am not a caboose expert so I cannot
provide a detailed review. They said that the I 5 line of
cabooses are ready for production but they are now waiting for
the tariff situation to hopefully get better. This is my
thought on that comment and I am not in the model RR
production business but I think they have to pay something up
front when they place the production order and that comes out
of their pocket until someone purchases the model when it
comes out. I can understand this because if they pay the
tariff amount now they might not get that difference in cash
payed or credited back to them which means they lose money on
the deal or we pay more for the model. Again I do not know the
situation and I might be wrong on this. Also in my opinion
please keep your negative comments about Spring Mills models
to yourself. The negative comments do not show us as a group
in the best light and other manufactures see this and might
not bring out a model that we all might want. Or worse yet
even ask for our help in the design process for their models. </div>
