I think it's all great. Better a cooperation or merger than out of
business. Of course, for me, the name Maerklin must never disappear.

Good news! This means Kibri will stay in business. Must say I like their buildings a lot.

Comparing both catalogues I allways thought Uhlenbrock and Viessmann would join hands. A lot of their items just have different boxes.
