Model Railroading > The Future of Cannon & Company

With last October’s untimely passing of Gordon Cannon, many wondered what would become of the company. I am pleased to announce that it has been settled. I have bought the company and will move it from Aptos to Trabuco Canyon this week. My intent is to rebuild the inventory and eliminate the out of stock situation as quickly as I can. I’m not a toolmaker, so at least for now I can’t promise new products, but we’ll see what the future brings, so bear with me. Gordon left behind a great legacy for the finest quality products that are the standard of the industry that I’ll do my best to uphold.

One of the changes I will be making is the creation of a web page with descriptions and photos of all the parts and prototype information with the longer term plan to make direct ordering easier.

Best news I have herd in a long time. Thanks Joe

Very Good to hear! I was just eyeing a cab yesterday with the sole intent of stealing the side window panes for a caboose project, but I couldn't do it, thinking that I might not be able to get a new cab in the future. Thanks Dave!

Coagulation on your new venture. Once things settle down maybe we see an GP60M cab and also SD60M Cabs

Well now ya done it! Thanks for stepping in to help us all out in our hobby. I send my best wishes and hope you success beyond your wildest expectations. Really.

God Bless you Dave!

Thanks for the info. I know Gordon wouldn't want it any other way.

Couldn't agree any less with B-John's comments, an early Xmas present for the diesel kitbashing masses for sure! A big THANK YOU to Dave for stepping up and pulling off this big time business move to keep Gordon's superb diesel parts legacy intact for the tens of thousands of kitbashers, and diesel modelers across the world. It will take a lot of personal free time to get things moving after the one week move, but I'm sure you will get thank you from many of us who have come to count on Cannon & Co parts for EVERY project. Let me know if you will be needing some help on the logisitcs move or anything that can help production re-runs or future releases....

Great news! Now lets all support Dave on his new business venture.

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but this is wonderful news. And who a better person to carry that torch? I can't wait to finally be able to order those parts online either!

Great going Dave, you're the perfect guy for the job! I'm sure Gordon would be proud!
