I suspect you may be right. It’s the same way I run my web business. Charge what you must, and do what you can.
Well I am sorry to hear this. The good news is I have 8 of his drives in Annie’s. I knew I should have gotten a few more to have on hand just in case.
Wow. This seems so… sudden. Though I mourn the loss of a valuable asset to the hobby, I wish Barry nothing but the best in his retirement.
My only real complaint about all these closings is that I wish they would give you heads up. If I had known Barry was closing, I’d have purchased the units I needed instead of going to EC this year.
Good luck Barry on all your future endeavours.
None of us are getting younger.
Bob Hartford, Phil Dippel, etal.
It would be nice if their companies were passed on to younger enthusiasts with the same integrity that Barry has.
So, buy your kits and parts while you can.
I had a Barrys 2-8-0 conversion plan for this spring. I was just waiting for a few more bucks in the kitty.
Good luck with your retirement, Barry!
John,
I am still here.
Barry Olsen
Barry, you will be missed.
Geez, leave for a month and come back and the hobby is falling apart, You’ll be missed Barry. You helped me out a few times as well.
Thank you.
