Mike Wolf is the closest incarnation, so to speak, of Joshua Cowen in terms of his true, and abiding passion for ALL model and toy trains, with an especial reverence for prewar tinplate. His logo is a Lionel Blue Comet 400E, which speaks volumes! His success, like Mr. Cowen's, rests largely on his hand-picked team of executives and innovative engineers much like Bonnano and Caruso. His development of arguably THE most reliable smoke units and the remarkable UL-approved Z-4000 are just two examples of his iconic contributions to our hobby. Not to mention DCS and Proto 3 battery-less sound and control systems. He has made some mistakes along the way, but overall, has done much to promote this hobby in a most innovative manner, much like the legendary Mr. Cowen!
