Resin Trains?

[jbaakko]

Anyone know what happened to Resin Trains? I really wanted to get one of this resin turbines, but their site is down now.

Didn't know they existed.

I dont' know of this particular website, but those who make resin models seem to come and go pretty regularly. Seems they might be good modelers and can make the product, but they often aren't good in the business side.

Were you interested in the UP turbine or what Willis is pointing to, the United Turbo Train?

So, were you able to get in touch with Resin Trains?

I ask because it appears that their website doesn't exist anymore (the address above is an archive), so I also assumed that they had gone out of business. I too would like to get one of their UP turbines...saw one on ebay last week but didn't get to bid on it...guess I'll call the number on the archive site and see if the operation is still up and running.
