Hello John, ... I can understand that MTL (as any other manufacturer) won't produce to much of an item in a run, so it doesn't sit on the shelf to long. But ...
I would tend to agree with John. I think MTL is wise to be conservative in regard to quantities they produce. It seems to me that the model railroading hobby...
I'm not sure about MTL, but I do know about other companies that produce items like these. Their production is usually out more than 6 months or so and to do...
