I agree that Lionel has come out of the last decade much stronger & better with Jerry at the helm. The aforementioned "comic man jabs" & the argument of 3rd party TMCC development getting quashed during his time with Lionel by taking over ERR & RS4 component availability contributing to the closing of DD's doors & the rather enigmatic fading away of TAS (to be fair, the process was already in place prior to Jerry with Lionel taking over IC Controls) were well-known criticisms of his leadership. But when it's all said & done, he was brought in to keep Lionel a going concern & maintain profitability for Guggenheim during Lionel's most challenging & troubling times in recent history. And to that end, he and his team accomplished what he set out to do, with a continuing variety of products and technical innovations and a parts & service department that's head and shoulders above how it used to be.
Best of luck to him in his future endeavors.
