In what can only be described as a "win-win" resolution, for not only the parties directly involved, but vehicle modelers especially, Tom Yagerhofer of Crescent Station has sold his retail mail order business to Trip and Cheryl Aiken (yes, that Trip Aiken!) of Truck Stop Models. Tom has had to cut back on new retail customers last year and this promises to be the perfect solution to allow Tom to concentrate on his real world job and his wholesale distribution side of the model business. We as modelers gain a new retail mail order source in Truck Stop Models and gain access to Trip's considerable skills as a modeler that he can bring to the retail model business.

We think you'll be impressed by this new company's plans as they come to fruition and can only tell you that you will be surprised! Look for models you can't get anywhere else. Look for an announcement from Trip soon for his upcoming web site (not yet ready for prime time; logo shown above). For now we wish Trip and Cheryl all the best luck!
