Round 2 Buys Lionel!

Post by speedgraflex »

:roll: From the press release:

Following days of intense online speculation and rumors within the hobby and collectibles community, Lionel, LLC has officially confirmed that it is set to be acquired by Round 2, a portfolio company of Praesidian Capital.

The two giants of the hobby and collectibles industry will eventually merge to form a new entity known as the Lionel Brands Group.

Train hobby is very expensive hobby but I do admire the work train hobbyists build a rail layout. Some are incredibly elaborate enough to make your head spin. I do enjoy seeing them in person when we used to have a train show years ago.

I think a famous person once said that the only constant in the universe is change.

Don't forget two coins over your eyes to pay the ferryman.

And you don't have to pay taxes, but the consequences suck.
