Re: Miniature Trains

Alan Herschell was bought out by Chance in 1969. Chance was by that time building the C.P. Huntington. They did continue to inventory the existing parts inventory and the plans and patterns from the Miniature Train line. A few years back they auctioned off the bulk of the old Herschell Co. assets. They wound up in the possesion of the Carousel Society of the Niagara Frontier, caretakers of the Herschell Factory Museum in North Tonawanda,NY. As I understand it, they are setting up a seperate holding company to manaufacture parts for the MT equipment as well as the old Herschell kiddie rides,which a great many aare still in use.
