IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD, WE'VE CLOSED "RAGG'S" DOWN AND RETIRED. HOPEFULLY, THE ECONOMY WILL ALLOW US TO STAY RETIRED!

 

SEVERAL YEARS LATER (!):

YES, MORE THAN A FEW YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE WE "RETIRED" AND THE ECONOMY HAS COOPERATED. WORK ON MY Sn3 RGS LAYOUT HAS CONTINUED. RIGHT NOW I'M WORKING ON THE OPHIR LOOP AREA. THE "BIG" BRIDGE IS FINISHED (NEARLY 8 FEET LONG!) AS WELL AS 3 OF THE 4 BRIDGES THAT WILL MAKE UP THE "HIGHLINE". I'VE ALSO JUST FINISHED THE OPHIR DEPOT. I DECIDED TO DESIGN AND BUILD MY OWN DEPOT TO MORE CLOSELY REPLICATE THE PROTOTYPE. FEEL FREE TO CLICK ON THE ABOVE LINK TO SEE MORE PROGRESS ON THE RAILROAD.

I'VE CONTINUED CUTTING THE OCCASIONAL KIT WHEN A CUSTOMER REALLY NEEDS IT, BUT HONESTLY, THIS HASN'T WORKED OUT VERY WELL. TOO MANY MODELERS NEED TOO MANY KITS! I CAME VERY CLOSE TO SELLING "RAGG'S" LAST DECEMBER (2025) AND TRANSFERRING THE ORDERS, BUT THE BUYER'S FINANCING FELL THROUGH AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL STILL BE THE PROUD OWNER OF RAGG'S AT LEAST THROUGH THIS YEAR (2026). BECAUSE THERE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY, I HAVE TO STOP TAKING ORDERS FROM MODELERS. SORRY! HOPEFULLY, A NEW OWNER CAN MAKE IT UP TO YOU! (YES, I AM STILL OPEN TO DISCUSSING THE SALE OF RAGG'S -- 70+ OF OUR OWN KIT DESIGNS, MORE THAN A DOZEN "DETAIL" KITS, A 60 WATT UNIVERSAL LASER AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, PLUS A LARGE SUPPLY OF MATERIALS. ALSO, ABOUT 6 NEW DESIGNS INCLUDING THE OPHIR DEPOT THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN RELEASED AS KITS.

KEEP MODELING -- IT KEEPS YOU SANE IN THIS CRAZY WORLD WE LIVE IT!
