** Well ken out of 10 new posts 5 are from our 2 named India spammer. You would think he had better things to do then be a pain . And he puts attachments in. I hope no one is dumb enough to open one. Well if no one cares he wins . A real hobby site killer.

Yes. If anything, we should ignore the spam.

Thank you. I'm just worried about if someone is able to hack into this system or something due to all the spam. That's the real fear for me.

Great of you to offer the service, Ken.
Perhaps, if it goes ahead, you could use Skype instead of using the phone.
Just a thought.

Did somebody say Tico? :D
They also did an HO scale F7, gon, box and caboose as well as coaches. They even had a "Turnpike & Slot Car" Set
Now... back to your previous topic...

Me neither. Is there any more info on that manufacturer because I can't find a thing about them.

From what I've been able to find, they were a subsidiary of Noma (That made Christmas lights) - http://www.oldchristmastreelights.com/noma_story_4.htm
The relevant part:
Also during this time, (Henri) Sadacca started an independent plastics molding plant, which supplied the plastic light shades, decorations and novelty item components to NOMA Lites. It was called TICO Plastics, was named after Henri Sadacca's nephew Tico, and was owned by Leon Sadacca, Henri's brother. The factory did quite well. In the mid 50s, Saul Blitz took over the company in a leveraged buy out, and it became financially independent of NOMA Electric Corporation and NOMA Lites Incorporated. The factory continued in operation at 55 West 13th Street in New York City until 1971.
