- How about "under our current projections, we are planning to release x number of offerings of freight cars in 2022, and y types of locomotive offerings over the next 2 years"? Even if things do not go exactly as planned, it would be nice to have an idea of what to expect (heck even film studios do this years in advance!). I would rather see ambitious plans partly fall through and be disappointed, rather than kept worrying if the company will still be around in 3-5 years.
I think you posted some valid concerns but I agree with the sentiment to wait and see what happens. I certainly hope at some point they do release a catalog even if it is small like the Atlas O catalogs in the late'90s. I agree this new MTH will not be like the old MTH however I would rather have that then no MTH at all. Having said that No train company in their right mind would do what you suggested above. They either put it out there that they are doing a run of a certain car or locomotive or they don't. Announcing that they will offer a car or locomotive next year gives their competition time to make a competing model. It is sort of like a quarterback telling the defense Hey we are going to run a slant for 7 yards. I have been in this hobby since 1997 and I have never any train company announce something like that. There are some things these companies must keep close to the vest.
