Although Korber is back in business, they have not been producing "G" scale products.
They are back in production on their "O" scale product line.
Their "G" product line is rapidly shrinking as they sell out stock on hand.
I suggest if you see something you want from Korber, buy it while you can.
I have made the mistake of putting off purchases twice, and the kits are no longer available :(

I get emails from them, saying they ARE producing some of the G scale models:

The web site claims in stock.

They don’t have a large selection in G scale yet but they are making some of them again. It took only two days to get station since they are located in Delaware (the state everyone forgets about)

Where does it say they are producing G scale kits, Greg?
These are the same kits that were available from old stock when they purchased the company, minus several kits that are no longer available.
It is possible they are producing, but there is less available now than when they restarted sales.
Ralph
Ralph they are producing the kits but just whats on the web site. When they first got started they put out a poll on what kits people wanted to see produced. I’m guessing the few G scale ones they have on the site are the chosen ones. They are all new stock just not a lot out yet. I got that from e-mails they sent me when they took over.
Meanwhile, while we got a LOT of rain in Canada, it doesn’t look like we got ANY here while we were gone.
Here’s a shot of it this afternoon - and it’s now dried out pretty well - and seems solid.
Well, crud. Just a few weeks ago, this plant looked pretty decent.
This was taken on July 14…
Now, it looks pretty much like it is on the way out…
I guess I’ll have to find a replacement…not sure what. I really can’t put a building there, so it will be another plant. Something that likes shade…
Looks like a great spot for a team track if you don’t have one at that location already. Extend the siding closest to the main about 1 or 2 more car lengths, make a platform and you’ll add even more complexity to the switching

More complexity? Ken and Bart would kill me!

And that’s exactly why you should do it…
Yeah just extend that other siding there…or move the water tank down there…
Bruce put a few Dwarf Alberta spruces in their. Make it into a spruce grove.
I was out doing some maintenance on my trestle yesterday. The bush was pretty far gone, so I decided to dig it up.
We had been talking about putting another plant there, but I thought I’d try a couple of stepping stones instead.
I’m thinking I like this better, as it gives me a better place to walk. Previously I had been kicking the switch stands with my foot…now I should be far enough away.
I like that. It’s a lot more open.
Though the back wall of the house does look pretty bare…

I think Ken just volunteered to make some flats for along the house
I have thought about some flats there. Maybe I can make another hotel. Or something.
I hate to add an industry along that passing siding, but it sure would make Jackson even more challenging. Not that it needs anything else…
Ya know it occurs to me …that a station as busy as Jackson needs a Depot with an Agent to run it…

Exactly. Even if it is a flat.
Well, I guess I’ll go on record - that is planned. I just haven’t come up with the right prototype yet; I do know that Thurmond is way too big.
So how bout the one in Durbin? OR Cass fer that matter?
