Ring Out of Business?

(1/3) > >>

TwinStar:
We’re setting up a Free-mo layout this weekend  and one of our regulars is a very large and well known retailer. They’re being told that Ring is out of business and they’ve had modelers calling this week scooping up the last of their Fred stock.

Any intel about this?

William Brillinger:
Ring shipped an order to me last week and I talked to them yesterday about some other orders I expect to ship next week.

nodcc4me:
I sent an HC in for repairs and received it back a few days ago. An email note from TR did not mention anything about shutting down.

G8B4Life:
Sounds like someones just trying to stir up trouble, or extra business. Given how secretive Ring is about many things I doubt anybody would know in advance, we'd all know at the same time when it when Ring announced it .

KPack:
For some reason the FREDs are not being produced currently, and that is being noticed.  I don't know why, but my guess is that parts are an issue to obtain, or maybe he just decided to move full to Railpro and nothing else.  I believe that back during the height of the pandemic he was having a hard time getting certain parts to assemble circuit boards.  That's probably still the case now given the rise in inflation and shipping problems.  I'm currently not concerned.
