After mt eyes decide they no longer liked H.O. trains.I decide I would get one lionel train.I always wanted one as a kid.But my folks just did not have the money for that.Any way I order a lionel 736 steam locomotive.In the same magzine was a ad for a company called MTH trains.There was an erie berkshire.So I order it and man.What a puller and smoked pretty good to.So for the next few years I would get another locomotive after christmas.Then noticed that the price of post war trains was going down.I recall seeing lionel locomotives priced at $300.00 to $800.00.I think MTH trains sets took it up a notch.I do not have there tracks systen I have gargraves track.I had lionel track and well it cut me.I had a very shore finger for a few weeks.Any way I think pretty much had the market all to it self.I know there were other companies.But they were nowhere as big as lionel.And did not pose a threat in the o gauge market.I think MTH really shook things up in the o gauge train market.So what are your thoughts on this?
