I really love Lionel Legacy control, but admire MTH because they constantly push the envelope. I can't see Lionel ever taking a chance and making European steamers like MTH did....they just won't risk it.

Past tense for MTH, all they do now is remake existing products with a new paint job. There are no new designs coming out from MTH.

I feel that it is just a matter of time before Lionel and MTH combine either in a merger or takeover . I just hope they continue the innovation that still exist at both companies and not the remake everything in the basement ....

Actually, I don't ever see that happening. MTH is a shadow of it's former self, and Lionel picked over their tooling for stuff that they wanted already. There's no upside for Lionel to acquire MTH that I can see.
