FUTURE DIRECTION OF NICKEL PLATE MODELS AND NKP/48

BRINGING MORE NICKEL PLATE MODELS TO MARKET HAS BEEN DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE ANDSALES OF THE EXISTING MODELS HAVE BEEN SLOW. THE MAILING LIST THROUGH WHICH I HAVE DONEMOST OF MY MARKETING IS STALE AND POSTALCOSTS KEEP GOING UP. WORK ON MY OWN LAYOUT HASTAKEN PRIORITY. ACCORDINGLY, I CONCLUDED THAT MARKETING BY NEWSLETTER WAS NO LONGERCOST EFFECTIVE AND, TWO YEARS AGO, ADVISED THAT THE NEWSLETTER SENT WOULD BE THE LAST,ABSENT AN ORDER. I HAVE HAD NO REASONTO ALTERTHAT ANNOUNCEMENT. NKP MODELS WILLSTILLBE OFFERED OVER THE INTERNET. GET THE NEW WEBSITE ADDRESS FROM ME AT NKP48@AOL.COM.I ALSO ADVERTISE IN O SCALE RESOURCE (WWW.OSCALERESOURCE.COM) AND MAY STILL SEND OUTNEWSLETTERS FROM TIME TO TIME. I WILL ALSO TRY AND ATTEND MAJOR O SCALE MEETS. IN 2O 1 1 ,I EXPECT TO BEAT INDY, CLEVELAND AND STRASBURG. THE MODELS DESCRIBED WILL BE THERE, ORYOU CAN ORDER THEM BY EMAIL OR MAIL.
