From the editor

I t is that time again when I reflect on my trip to the International
Toy Fair in Germany, where a number of exhibitors were there
to provide details of their offerings for 2020. The main
comments coming out from the fair was that, with the current events
that are happening in China, all release date information is no
longer accurate, as none of the model manufacturers in China can
say when things will get back to normal. At the time, all factories
were closed for the Chinese New Year and the threat of an
extended period of time where strict rules are in place with regard Steven Downes
to people movement, diecast models will be at the bottom of the
Truck, Plant & Machinery
list of priorities when things do get better. Model World Editor
