LGBoA to Proceed with Production
LGB of America announced today that it will proceed with plans to produce its own G-scale trains and accessories. LGBoA also announced that its existing inventories of LGB products are generally very good and that it is working with many long-time LGB suppliers on its production efforts.
“Our constant goal is to provide consumers with the quality LGB products they want,†said Tony Castellano, President of LGB of America. “We purchased a tremendous amount of LGB before production ended at Lehmann. We have already announced our new ‘USRA 0-6-0’ loco, and we plan to have fresh inventory before the start of the holiday selling season.â€
Castellano also noted that LGBoA has been adding, and will continue to add, other product lines from around the “World of LGB.†LGBoA recently announced that it has become the exclusive importer, distributor and service center for the BRAWA G-scale line, expanding its program to include LGB, PIKO, Bridgewerks, EMEK and BRAWA products. The LGBoA team will be on hand at the upcoming 23rd National Garden Railway Convention in Las Vegas, June 27-29 (Booths 328-330).
