We
have redesigned the website over the past few weeks and your comments and
feedback is appreciated. We are spending more and more time on historical
information and with RiggenHO limited production special editions--- the
new web site design makes it easier for readers and customers to navigate
to their areas of special interest....
This
issue looks at:
---The RiggenHO Production History and will document the evolution of our
products over the past few years.
---New information in the Brass Wars history section; detailed info about
a "Magazine car" called the Lead Sled with detail by the actual
1970's builder Bob Kircher!
---A preview of upcoming projects, 2 links for your consideration, and thoughts
for collectors
....enjoy your summer!

The RiggenHO Production History...
Where we came from, where we are and where we are going. Staring with the introduction of the Series 100 chassis in May 2005 to our latest "New-Old School" Special Edition... click this link....
In
the future we will primarily focus on special editions of RiggenHO cars and
parts with cooperation from other builders. For reference, our latest special
edition of 10 cars sold out in just 2 days from the time of the email announcement
we mailed when the cars became available. Since then, we have had requests
for a few more and unfortunately we cannot provide them. To insure that our
next edition satisfies all of our "hard core" customers (and to
prevent an immediate sell out of our next limited edition) as well as to keep
our special editions special....I'd
like to ask our customers to let me know if they would like to be "on
the list" for our next releases...this entails ABSOLUTELY NO
OBLIGATION on your part but will help us forecast better how many
of each product to make...Some specials will remain at just 5 or 10 pieces,
but for certain chassis parts or other "mostly stock" releases we
can easily do more than 15 or so pieces and keep the costs down...If you are
interested in "being on the list", please send me an e-mail letting
me know!

ON THE LIST!
The HO Brass Wars...more history
As the web expands and becomes easier to search and use, it becomes easier for enthusiasts to find information about their own specific areas of interest.... and perhaps even information published about them they were not even aware of....In June of this year I recieved an e-mail from Bob Kircher who designed the Lead Sled in Nov 1971 which was featured in Car Model Magazine back in the day....Read all about it here...
