This had more to do with the fires in their area that did a lot of harm to their facility and some of their own homes.
They had almost no dependency on anything from China. Almost completely domestic and most business was in the US/Canada.

There was conversation (noisy conversation) here a few months ago about the model railroad industry and the effects of reckless and incoherent tariff policy

I come across news this week that Micro-Trains line, one of the few all-domestic vendors of that hobby, has been purchased by Atlas trains.
Micro-Trains was well-deserving of their trademark slogan 'The Cadillac of N-scale models.' I was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts or comment on the news.
