Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I used to get these four page fliers in the mail that were chucked full of steam engines, accessories, flame eaters, and stirling motors from a company
that now when you look them up on line and check their stock, they might have a Jensen.
I'm talking about Yester Year Toy's. On Ebay if you find some thing from them and click to see other items, if there is something for steam engines, it's
parts like from tear downs of inventory. Oh yeah and a lot of books on training oxen or raising chickens. Probably 98% is books.
Does anyone know what happened to them?

You're right about Mini steam being what's left.   Here's an item from Yesteryear on Ebay right now.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wilesco-M89-Potter-Workshop-Series-Collection-for-Model-Toy-Steam-Engine/264559344265?hash=item3d98f73a89:g:aH8AAOSweKNd6714

If you look at it and click sellers other items, all you get are some Wilesco parts, used, from a stripped down brass TE.
You get about 8-9 pages of books and DVD's on farm stuff, tractors, live stock,etc.etc.etc.
You hear about good business's being left to the kids who don't appreciate what it's worth or means, then blowing it out their nose
till there's nothing left. I sure hope that's not the case here.   

 Anybody out there know what or why?
