T2M übernimmt FG Modellsport | Bigscale-Magazine.com
The French Model Manufacturer T2M SAS takes over the remains of FG model sport. As company founder Franz Jamara today announced today in a circular letter , T2M SAS buys based in France, the winter Bacher traditional company . For example, production and warehousing is moved to Faulquemont (Lorraine ) from the end of the month. Orders with FG Sport model are until 19 Taken in March against and edited by Paderno out . From 24 March then the procession begins . This also means the end of the company headquarters in Paderno . But it also opens up a ray of hope for FG model owners for the production , supply of spare parts and also the development should proceed by T2M According to Franz Jamara . Whether this will , however, apply to all products of the winter Bacher company left open and may well be doubted. The FG model range is quite large and the development of expensive and complex. It is unlikely that T2M want to diversify so . Since many components were not even made ​​in the past by FG itself but supplied , but it should definitely go with the supply of spare parts of all products.

All in all , the news of today positive for owners of FG models - though they should not break forth into joy because many questions remain : Which models are as continued what prices , in which quality is produced and what further development take place? We keep our fingers crossed that the company T2M manages to kick the heavy heritage and to satisfy the desires and needs of the FG customers. For as the current survey also shows put very many model owners to FG !

Here is the entire letter from Franz Jamara :

Rather hoping that the 2012 FG Short course and Trophy truck's will make another showing as I tried for two years to get either with no luck at all in the UK.

Is there any info on how available their vehicles and parts will be now that they have been purchased. I'm going around about buying another 1/5 scale and always really loved my fg touring cars.

I just talked with Victor at fg supply and he was saying that the cars and parts are still being made. Give them a call and I'm sure he can help you out.

I had a hard time ordering parts through FG Supply with Victor due to T2M not being able to supply them. I waited 3 months for a part and still couldn't get it and had to go overseas to another hobby shop to purchase FG parts. It was a pain, but it worked out in the end and Victor refunded my money and was good about it. I tried ddm a few times, but they have a limited supply of parts for FG applications.
