Why does Walthers hate the C&O so much?

Maybe because CSX is charging for the rights to use any of their logos, past, present, or future.

THINK FLOQUIL!; THINK PAASCHE!; THINK MICROSCALE!

Doubt that as well, as there is a plethora of B&O stuff which would fall under the same license.

I’d like to see more Pennsylvania equipment and Nickel Plate equipment, not just C&O.

If you think that Walther hates the NH, C&O,etc. let me add N&W to the list.

My son and I are modeling N&W from the mid 40’s to about the early 70’s with a twist on history and we can’t find much of anything (passenger cars, freight cars, engines in steam or diesel). If we want NS there seems to be a small supply.

In case you’re wondering about the twist on history N&W “never” merged with other roads and the “Western” means they went west (LA, etc.) not just to Ohio or IL.

Its our road and we can do it!!

Was N&W originally produced by Lifelike, then dropped when Walthers took over? The NKP, and C&O were.

BTW: I’m not trying to beat up Walthers. I love most of their stuff. I must have put down a rather obscene amount of money on engines, kits, rolling stock, and supplies in the last 5 years. But I’m truely baffled why there is a lack of C&O stuff.

I’m convinced that they hate my freelanced railroad as well as the C&O. Just because it’s freelanced and I’m the only person in the world modeling it doesn’t mean they should discriminate against me!!

Always better to be a smart than a dumb bunny. [:o)]

(Replace donkey with a syn. for donkey…begins with an “a” and has 3 letters.)

Please Walthers more NKP,Wabash, Ann Arbor, DT&I, and Then… :slight_smile: Kevin

I have another plausible explanation:

I have noticed quite a lot of “Painted & Un-lettered” equipment on the market… Could it be that Walthers is now making a lot of this and leaving it up to us, the modellers, to add our own decals and such information as we deem necessary? This way we don’t have to waste time removing unwanted decals, and they save money not having to buy and install said decals?

What with the plethora of decal makers and such advertising in the magazines, we have such possibilities at our fingertips… Just means that you have to do a little bit of work, and most likely a better representation of what you had intended to get to boot!!!

I’m not sure what happened, but I would like to see them bring back the engines and cars so that we can have more of choice.
