Reply to "How do you think MTH trains changed the O gauge market?"

In the mid-1990s I started buying MTH Railking locomotives. My recollection is that they were about two-thirds the price of modern Lionel locomotives then, and their quality was comparable to Lionel, so I felt I was getting a good deal.

Did MTH shake things up by doing the above? That may be an overstatement, but I believe MTH did significantly impact the market for O Gauge trains by doing the above.

I also believe modern Lionel and MTH trains have caused Postwar Lionel trains to become more affordable.

Have Postwar trains kept modern Lionel and MTH trains to be more affordable? I'm not sure if that is true, but I believe it's possible that the Postwar trains have helped keep the prices of modern Lionel and MTH from going through the roof. Arnold
