Walthers sent this press relaese yesterday:
Wm. K. Walthers, Inc. is pleased to announce that on September 4,
2018, Stacey Walthers Naffah will become its fourth President.
Current President Phil Walthers will retire from day-to-day
operations of the company but will remain Chairman of the Board
and be available to work on special projects. Read the entire
She’s had a long career already at Walthers and is well-qualified to lead this crucial organization forward in the midst of immense change in the hobby and business worlds.
. . . Probably the best educated of anyone in a similar role . . . two great schools.
Walthers will be in good hands she will be great for Walthers better.
This all sounds like good news to me.

For me, Walthers makes most of the items that I purchase. They seem to have figured out what I need, hopefully other modelers too.

I’m also glad to see Walthers continue as a family business with established leaders already in place.
We’ve seen too many model railroad companies simply cease to exist when their founders/owners decided to retire or were forced to because of ill health.

I wish the best to Stacey and the Organization as a whole.
Great catalogue, great items, and uaually in stock. In todays world that is hard to beat.
Go Walthers Go.
