"Dear Mr. Creek,

Thanks for your message! However, we must confirm these "rumors" - Roco won't continue the production of Minitanks in 2019. Which company will take over the production is currently not fixed,

We are sorry, that we have no better infos for you!

I heard a rumor that Roco Minitanks were going to go out of business and they have confirmed they will cease production in 2019.  The product line has been for sale but no buyers yet.

 

I got my first Roco Minitanks in about 1963 and I have purchased them ever since.

 

This is very sad news.

Flyer

It's 1904, New Years Day and the town is all but deserted.

It's not the new year everyone expected.

It's they year the Martians came!

The local US Army Signal Corps detachment has a new weapon and they hope to deploy it in time to stop the Martians.

A Flyer, built by the Wright Brothers armed with one bomb, they hope to get it airborne in time to hit one of the infernal machines.
