Well, the time for dire speculation is ended, at least for the present. Darren Hodges, proprietor of Hobbies Plus in Stratford, Australia, was kind enough to forward to me a fresh-off-the-wire dealer pricelist, which should not only quell any concerns about the current state of T, but should also bring joy to those who have been patiently awaiting the arrival of new trainsets, track switches, and other long-promised goodies.

So, Doubting Thomases and Chicken Littles can rest easier for the time being, and can return to work on their T scale empires, confident that they should find new T scale toys under the Christmas Tree this year. My apologies for allowing my skepticism to get the better of me, and for the chills that may have been sent down any loyalists' spines by my blog.
