Now for the big news around here: we have purchased Tank Workshop! This is NOT a hostile take over of this well known company. I have used many TWS products in the past, and have always thought it was a sound line at a fair price. Certain situations that do not need to be discussed here presented us with an opportunity to acquire this well known resin line. Larry Provo is selling to us on good terms, and will remain in business as a consultant to TMD, and master pattern maker for the TWS line. Larry will be working closely with us to keep the TWS line alive, and we hope to breath new life into his fine kits.

We will be producing and distributing the entire Tank Workshop line under the new name of TWS. We hope to have everything up and going by the end of January, but this may take more time than we are anticipating. We will be doing all the casting, packaging and distribution of the TWS line, and we will keep the old product numbers. As we find time, we will make new instruction sheets for those TWS kits that need them, and we will update the packaging for the entire line. Some of the prices will change after January 1st. Many of the smaller items may come up in price a little, but the big thing we hope to do is cut the cost of the larger kits by up to 25%. I want to see the German locomotive sell for less than $300.00 U.S.! We also want the rail cars and larger U.S. items to come down 20-25%, and we will do everything we can to make this happen. Just keep an eye on the web site for future news. If all goes well, we will add the new TWS products to our shopping cart on January 5th.


Finally, we are working with several smaller companies to help produce and distribute their products. As we finalize our deals, we will introduce these new lines to you here on the website. We think all of the new lines we are looking at are equal to our own standards for accuracy and fine detailing, and we are very excited about the coming year. We should even have a new figure line for you guys in the next month or two! So keep your eyes open, and stay in touch. To all of you out there who celebrate our Saviors birth, please have a safe and Joyful Christmas. To the rest of our friends, please take care of yourselves and your families, and TMD wishes you a happy and prosperous New Year!
