Just got a call from my Horizon rep and found out that the retail prices on products will most likely hold where they are but the discount to dealers will be lowered by 8%. That is a big hit for the hobby stores. First Walthers with their 10% hit to dealers, now Horizon on Athearn products.
Bottom line good news for the model railroader bad news for the local hobby shop.
Athearn Good News / Bad News????
It’s bad news for everyone concerned with the hobby. The prices are killing Model Railroading. What’s bad news for the retailer is bad news for all of us, because it’s the retailers who grow the hobby.
