Kline, Williams, Atlas, Weaver, 3rd rail, MTH, and others have all impacted the industry. Better detail, graphics, variety, and hopefully quality. Without the re-issues of pre and postwar stuff we would still be stuck in the escalating prices of postwar trains.
It's nice to have more options for sure.
Well I still MTH did a lot of first.The first diecast 4-6-6-4 steam locomotive with both sets of drivers powered.I will always remember that seeing that locomotive in railking.And its sounds system blew me away.
