The end of International Hobby Corporation...


...has apparently come. They took up where AHM left off, putting out a nice quality product for the introductory level hobbyist---certainly better than TYCO, Bachmann and Life-Like low end trains were. Their steam locomotive models were their best effort, even when they were built by Mehano rather than Rivarossi...

...their chuffing steam sound car made for perfect vengeance against those annoying QSI sound equipped locos I put up with at the club...

...and who around at the time can forget Corkey's Carnival Caravan...

That C-liner runs quite well and the train's pastel colors have earned it the name "Birthday Cake train" from my son...

As it was put by someone over at another forum... "Thanks for the effort, IHC. It was fun while it lasted."
