Friends,
I just got the 2008 new products catalog and LGB Depesche magazine by mail. It appears that Marklin is trying to keep things going. They are still producing items in China, but all the German manufacturing has moved to Hungary. The entire line of products appear to be European at this time, although there is mention in at least one place in the club newsletter that North American Narrow Gauge items will be produced in the future. I am still looking for a reasonable priced K-27 in 1:22.5 scale, but I am NOT HOLDING MY BREATH! LGBoA has indicated some new American narrow gauge items in the future, but they are still in early dealings with Marklin/LGB and who knows what will ultamately happen there. Bottom line is LGB is still producing, but only European at the moment.
