    i was wondering since they haven't updated their website since december if there are problems at microscale or if they are just slacking, i see there are some new sets but until i see what they actually look like i can't order them, anyone know what's going on?

    This has been going on at Microscale,since the founding owner of same,passed away a couple of years ago.Tis unfortunate,but it seems this(updating the web site),is not important to current management.7 months,it's pretty pathetic ain't it?I'm just as frustrated as you,and I have emailed these people about this glaring oversight,since the problem first surfaced(with no results).May I suggest that you do the same?Couldn't hurt.
    Best regards.

    Atlas, InterMountain, and DeLuxe Innovations are all making better rolling stock than Micro Trains. But, Micro Trains has all special run production scheduled for 2004 and most of 2005. Why should they change? Why update the website? (Rhetorical questions.) Somebody likes their products I have pretty much switched to other manufacturers for my trains needs.

    Flash.You're absolutely right about Micro-Trains products,and I agree with you 100%.
    But the question was about Microscale.Regards.

    Oops! Better read those posts better. Impending senility, there! As for Microscale, I would be very sad to see them depart the scene. I am a massive user of their products. I once visited the business in southern California. They had several product lines that were for ceramic manufacturers and others. Additionally, I saw a lot of IPMS (International Plastic Modelers Society) decals for armor and airplanes. I would suspect that they are too busy to update the website as most of their items are probably purchased by manufacturers or suppliers.

    I thought I read on a forum somewhere that last winter they fired the guy who maintains their website? :confused:

    Flash-

    I do agree with your previous notes. I've not bought an MT car for about three years now....

    Is it just me, or can you not get into the online catalog on thier new website?

    I'm looking to place an order, but getting frustrated.

    I am sure you can still place the order.The new website is up and running except the online catalog.you can get into the new decals.JUst give them a call and they will help you out.I have never had a problem when I have acalled and placed a order and the staff there are also very nice....Might I add that I enjoy the forum on the site that you can directly ask them questions about the decals.Nice touch in my book.
