Regards, Ted Culotta FWIW, my dealer had no problem ordering trucks for me directly from IM. Yes, IM has entered into an agreement with Horizon Hobbies to be the sole distributor of IM products. But those who had direct dealer accounts before the agreement can still order everything direct from IM. That is part of the agreement. This was all contained in a newsletter to pre-existing dealers.

I went the hobby shop yesterday to order the Intermountain SFRD reefer trucks for my RPI CGW 90000 series box car kit (notice I didn't say PS-0). I looked in the Walthers catalog, no IM. I was told they now are exclusively sold through Horizon. I asked for the Horizon catalog, there isn't one. How do I buy IM stuff?? I came home, looked up their web site, very few parts are listed, lots of those tempting RTR models. So, I emailed them, they responded saying they would be happy to sell the trucks to me. But, now I've cut out my local dealer and the discount he gives me. I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but this is a problem

Clark,

As I understand it, if your dealer originally ordered direct from IM, he/she can continue to do so. I recently asked my local dealer to order some undec kits and parts and the dealer was able to obtain them with no problem. Jim Brewer Glenwood MD

Ron Angstead and got 20 or so sets of truck sprues for the SFRD reefer trucks for 75 cents each. Since they produce all of the parts in Colorado they often have stockpiles of sprues lying around.
