I am 76 years old now and 37 years ago I started making model railroad product, first from SSLtd (Scale Structures Ltd) and most recently as N SCALE of NEVADA LLC. None of my three sons want to take over the throttle - so to speak - I have, therefore, decided to shut down NSN and CREATIVE HORIZONS effective October 28th. You can order any product displayed on out web site until then, paying for your order with a Personal Check or a M.O. - your needs will be shipped in 3 days or less via USPS PRIORITY MAIL After Oct28th I can work on my model railroad and from time to time shaare a photo or two of the progress thereon. Thanks John Coots
John, I'm sorry to see your company go out of business. You provided wonderful products for many years. Thanks.
John, have you considered selling the business rather than just closing up? It sure would be a shame to see your fine line of products disappear from the market.
John, From the first time I saw your layout in model railroader, to buying several of your great products, you have always been considered to me to be one of N Scales best. Thank you for the inspiration, and some of the finest N Scale products ever made. Several of your kits will be done and put on my layout with pride. Happy Railroading my friend.

When a certain model manufacturer tried to pinch pennies and use the frame from a previously released locomotive for a model of a different locomotive altogether, it was people like John Coots who immediately produced retro-frames to correct this huge error in judgement. Luckily for us, the manufacturers saw the error in their ways. N scale took a huge step in the right direction because of people like John. Thanks John, for making them see the light and helping to bring N scale out of the shadows and into the forefront of model railroading.
I certainly remember that incident! Whatever happened ,that they released such an animal, at least we were then able to correct it quickly via purchasing those retro-frames! Boxcab E50

John: Sorry to hear that your company will be closing. Enjoy working on your model railroad. Stay cool and run steam....
John, If you haven't noticed, the gray market (ebay) for SS-LTD is GOLDEN...its scary how popular and impossible to get some of you stuff is, and its all prety much one of a kind. I seriously hope you find a good buyer, If I havd another life, i might ocnsider that sort of thing, but I'm in college now roaringto start a carreer in science education...in good news, I get three months a year off! Thanks for everything, and someday, hopefully I will get one of those kits...not yet, they are a little to rich for my blood!!
