Will be interesting to see where this goes.

It would be nice to be able to get track pieces again, assuming, of course, that they decide to manufacture 1/32 products and they can land a US distributor.

I just want some more chassis...er....cars!

I hope the 1/32 line returns inexpensive good bank for your buck !!!

Well, I guess that's more news than we've had in years. I do miss their inexpensive and solid chassis as a platform and the sets were great for the price. I hope they make a huge comeback.

This is promising.
The chassis is indeed a super building platform, Couldnt get enough when they were available.
Even the tires were better stock tires than most of the other mftrs.
With the Chinese economy in a downturn it could mean some good buys too.

I hope they have the tooling for the track and chassis. Too often these acquisitions are just buying the name and using it for miscellaneous reissues or all new, unrelated product. (Like the "new" Esterbrook fountain pens) Hopefully, the Artin stuff we know and love can make a return. I know I would expand my Artin layout, and Cathie's Son in law would like to set up his own track.

If it does, we might have to goad Harry into restarting the Artin section of the forum. :D
