Hallo Zusammen, vor einer halben Stunde erreichte mich die unten angehängte Information. Vielleicht können die GBF Leser in der "neuen Welt", die ja etwas später zu Bett gehen als die Alten, da mal etwas mehr Hintergrundmaterial beisteuern : "Official LGB Release Feb 14, 2007 4pm A New Home for the LGB Family First, we want to thank all of you for your patience as we work through the issues related to the problems at E.P. Lehmann in Germany. Because the situation is sensitive, we have been hesitant to make any public statement, but we know that you are more than just customers, you are members of the LGB family. So we are writing to keep you informed of the l atest developments at E.P. Lehmann and here at LGB of America? We learned today that Mr. Schöntag, the announced buyer of E.P. Lehmann, has been unable to secure bank financing to complete the purchase. Although we believe that another buyer or investor will be found, this is an extremely difficult situation for our many friends at Lehmann, and we wish them all the best. However, LGB will live and thrive, with or without Lehmann. Here is the key: LGB of America owns the trademark and marketing rights for LGB for the entire world except Germany, and we are working hard to ensure that the production of LGB products -- with all the quality you expect from LGB -- continues long into the future. There will be delays in announcing new products this year; but there will be new products ? including a new American-prototype loco that we believe you?ll be very excited about. We do expect short-term shortages of some items, but we do expect to have ample supply of those items in the future. We?ll continue to ship from our warehouse in New Jersey, and we?ll continue to provide service from San Diego. In short, the LGB family h as a new home ? at LGB of America. And meanwhile, we?re adding new rooms to that home. When LGBoA gained its independence in August, we said we would look for other quality products for our customers. For example, we are already shipping the new PIKO 'Taurus' G-scale loco, and you can be sure there will more announcements of new lines in the coming days and months. I know the road has been and will be bumpy, but the support we have received from you has given us the strength to overcome all kinds of obstacles. Together, we are family, and together, we are LGB. Happy LGBing! Tony Castellano President, LGB of America Keep your information current:" Dabei ist natürlich von besonderem Interesse wer nun die Markenrechte hält. Es scheint mir so als ob im Hintergrund ein politisches Spielchen getrieben wird und nicht unbedingt alle Fakten allen unmittelbar Beteiligten vorlagen bzw. vorgelegt wurden. Möglicher Weise gibt es da in Zukunft auch noch die eine oder andere Überraschung mehr. Gruß Rainer | ||||
