Received this email today from LGB's President, Tony Castellano:

"Important News About LGB Products and Service

To our LGB customers:

First, we would like to thank you for your patience over the past two years. As you may know, there have been many changes in the world of LGB which have affected us all. We want to update you on the situation as it now stands.

The assets of E.P.Lehmann of Nuernberg Germany, makers of LGB trains, were purchased in 2007 by Marklin. As of now, it appears that there will not be an agreement for LGB of America to purchase LGB products from Marklin in 2008. While many specific items are in short supply, we do currently have over 250 different LGB products in our warehouse, and there are further supplies at various retailers across America.

In connection with the above, we must regrettably now refer all customer inquiries to Marklin regarding such subjects as the LGB Club, general LGB customer service, LGB technical support, etc. We understand this causes an inconvenience for LGB customers in America, and we sympathize with you. In an attempt to bring some relief, we will do our best to continue performing repairs on LGB products as our limited parts supplies permit. However, we will be unable to accommodate parts requests as in the past.

Sincerely,
Tony Castellano
President"

We often get used engines, parts and accessories that we sell here in the store and we'll now be using that page to list some of these items. You'll have to email us for availability on this merchandise.
