Heard today from a very reliable source that LBF declared bankruptcy. No idea
what type of filing. Looks like Fred Becker has struck again. ---- Ken McCorry

LBF:

Fred Becker:
A model railroad manufacturer who has been involved in several companies
which wound up in demise, including Front Range, E&C Shops, and McKean, and
is now involved with LBF.

What/who is the reliable source?

>What/who is the reliable source?
Two people involved with the MRIA Model Railroad Industry Assoc.
I did receive an email from LBF but it was unreadable for whatever reason.
Hopefully if true they will be able to reorganize.

To me it seems premature to say this is factual pending better confirmation.
