@pdxtrains posted:Yes, this is too bad for those of us running smaller layouts with 031 track. Much of RailKing fit nicely there, was great value for the money. I hope some of the Premiere tooling will allow for 031-036. I know some of it does now, but much does not.
But it's GREAT news about P3 and DCS being supported. That really helps me feel better about owning MTH trains right now.
I agree with you, I will miss Rail King a lot, but hey, we can't have everything. At least our investment in DCS appears to be better protected going forward. That's peace of mind.
This move acquiring Premier but not Rail King adds further support to my belief that the middle of the hobby is getting reduced. Just not enough of us running semi/O27 scale that want the goodies that Lionmaster and Rail King Imperial offer. .
I understand it and respect the business side of that equation. Heck, I realize I'm part of the problem. I have about 25 engines.....9 conventional, 6 DCS, 1 LC, 1 LC+, and 8 TMCC. I don't need another engine. In fact, I'm planning on giving 3 of my TMCC engines to my daughter and soon-to-be-son-in-law this Christmas to get the hobby going further in the family.
Plus that makes room for an LC+2 K4.
