when I did check the site out, but found no mayberrystuff---Allan's right, they might be on a fishing expedition.
However tho, I'm most interested in getting alot of the stuff they have, particularly the train sets. The trains would run on my HO tracks I got now, and their tracks they got, would mate to mine, no problem. Looks to me like their tracks are made by Bachmann I would like to see them come out with a Mayberry train and also the Hooterville Cannonball. Sam Drucker Hooterville.

In the photo/graphic they have for this one, it appears that these are actually "Christmas" houses. They have "snow" on the roofs which is unlike the original houses from back in the 1990's. The Courthouse looks much the same other than the snow and a Christmas tree on top of the front stoop area but the Barbershop (if the graphic is the final form) looks nothing like Floyd's. The window just says "Barber Shop" and there's a double door going in. The other end of the building has "TV & Repair" on the window. Wally's and The Taylor Home look good enough but if Floyd's stays the same..I'm not going to like it. All that said, Hawthorne sent me an order form for other "Mayberry Houses" that would be resin type houses about 2 years ago and so far they have put off actual production over and over on that. They keep sending us cards asking if we want to continue to keep our order active for the "next" planned release date. This new set of "Christmas Houses" may very well be a fishing expedition to check on interest in these "new" houses. That may be why we can't find them on the Hawthorne web site.
