I ordered several water columns, an oil column and two utility poles from Diamond Scale about 2-3 weeks ago. I had not seen my order yet so I was going to call. I went to their website and they were apparently the victims of a fire. Looks like 12 weeks until they rebuild.[:'(]
That’s really sad news. I don’t have anything ordered from them, but any model railroad supplier having a fire is bad news for the hobby overall. I just hope they had adequate fire insurance to recover from their loss.
Looking at the photo links on their website at least it was only smoke damage, not fire and water damage. Still a mess to deal with. Looks like they had a well stocked hobby shop. I hope they are in a position to reopen.
They also sell the “Helix Humper” brand can motors which I have used quite a few of. They are great folks to deal with, hope they come through this with no problem.
