Tangent only sells through the website at this point. 
Its not a big enough company right now to have a major
distributor.  Its run more as a side job by a couple
of guys with real jobs.

They're not cheap but the way I look at it, by the
time I finish kitbashing and detailing an Athearn car
to be anywhere near as nice as the Tangent, I'd easily
have as much money, if not more into the car.  Plus,
it saves hours and hours to just pull it out of the
box and plop it on the rails.
