As a diehard MTH engine fan, this news is not only not welcomed but horrible. I hate to be Debbie Downer but if these are Railking steam engines that will only be available with Legacy, as they say on Shark Tank, "I'm out". Without DCS, forget it. Premier steam engines mostly require curves over 0-42 so Railking has been my go to. I'll be interested to find out if there are any Railking steamers left for what's left of MTH to make. If not, I guess it's EBay relics or nothing. I hope Atlas makes a strong and long run with what they have purchased in order to keep DCS alive with their diesels. And will MTH continue to make Premier steamers? Or are those going to be sold off, too?

If Lionel bought an RK steam locomotive tooling the likely route is they would end up in the Lionchief line, not Legacy.
