Irrelevant Note about Hawthorne Village

Post by paulrace »

Some of you know I used to promote Hawthorne Village trains and other on my BigChristmasTrains page and other pages. Since I began that effort, about 2004, their parent company Bradford Exchange has reorganized and has started promoting some very cheap toy trains under the Hawthorne Village name.

So I made a point of ONLY advertising products I still had respect for. Apparently that ticked off some powers that be, because they no longer want me to even mention their products online.

It will take me a long time to get all those mentions out of all my sites, but I will do my best.

I had also started a web site called HawthorneHunters.com to help folks to identify and or track down missing pieces from various Hawthorne Village collections. Because I'm disassociating myself from those products, I'm letting the following domain names expire in the next few weeks. Please let me know if you're interested in any of them.
