Hi Guys. I don't know why or how Tichy sent me this because I can't remember ever direct ordering anything from them, but this was a real eye?
opener for me. I had no idea the Tichy products came from such a large manufacturing facility. Don is obviously a real entrepreneur with a knack for buying industrial equipment for pennies on the dollar. When working on this scale you need big machines to make little products. Tichy makes a few S scale items but a wide range of their HO windows are also useful in our scale.

Dear Modeler:
For those of you who are interested in how we actually make our products here in the USA, here is a link to a YouTube video of our factory. It was taken and posted by a member of the Company Shops RR Club here in Burlington NC during an open house for members of the local clubs.
Hope you enjoy the video.

Except the CN/IC line that passes nearby doesn't have passenger service and another nearby town which used to be a division point both the railroad and tracks are long gone.? Ironically, the post office there is located where the yard used to be...

Besides, all that mail put into RPO's had to be trucked to the hubs.? What the RPO's primarily provided was sorting in route.

To bring it back to railroading a bit, many don't know that a lot of RPO cars had a mail slot where people could drop their letters into the car.
This photo happens to be a Canadian railroad, but the U.S. had them, too.? It has been a topic on the PassengerCarList group.

I suspect most of us are biased in favor of mail by rail; I think putting mail into trucks was one of the dumber ideas ever from government.? As to lack of logic in routing, the rail situation Bob mentions is trumped by the current system.? Posting a letter
in Asheville to a local address is never processed in Asheville¡ªit goes to the regional handling center in Greenville SC, 75-80 miles away to be stamped and routed back to Asheville, a minimum of two days.??
I have had packages routed all over the place for no discernable reasons: sometimes they go to Charleston, two hundred miles away, sometimes just to Columbia, perhaps a hundred and fifty.? Or they end up in Charlotte, a hundred and twenty miles east and can
then be shipped to Greensboro, even further east.? And it is doing well to be rerouted right away from all these intermediate stops; it is not unusual to sit at one of them for 2-3 days before going on.

Private carriers like UPS and Fed Ex already exist. If unhappy with the postal service use them. If they are too expensive, why imagine a private for profit USPS would be cheaper?

As a frequent customer, I'll be looking forward to seeing what is left.
Since much of our area is frozen and somewhat non-functioning so I'll use that time for this, in making an announcement that might interest you.
For the past several years I've resold items that friends and families have entrusted to me for resale for them.? Along with some of my personal items I've listed them in small groups.? Sometimes these items have sold within minutes while
others seem to remain as future antiques.? I've charged a commission for my time but return the bulk of the sales back to the owners!?
I don't have a large 'stock' of items, but I think I've repeatedly send items to those I've never met so we have done business with a virtual handshake working out extremely well.
However like many we've also noticed some issues with items being delivered late--sometimes the fault is with us, but more generally with the shipping service.? The present head of the PO caused some distress some years ago and now that he
about to end his service coupled with the present administration's trend of slashing things. My thoughts lead me to think that things won't get better anytime soon.? So I'm at the point of saying--it just ain't worth it!
So with the idea of still servicing my 'clients' and those who can use these things, I'll list all the remaining items
again in the coming days. With rare exceptions this will just be a listings without photos.? If you need photos of past listings, the archives probably has them.

Not to be argumentative, but I think the problem does not lie at the carrier/clerk level.? Need to look much higher up at the top management.? My idea, worth what you paid for it, is to deliver mail three days per week.? Your address is put on a Mon-Wed-Fri schedule or a Tues-Thurs-Sat schedule.? I can live with that and the financial problems mostly go away.? No DOGE needed for this one.?? Cheers........Ed L. ? ? ? ? -- Ed LoizeauxLos Altos, CAwww.nycvd.org
