All of MTH's tooling was available for sale. MTH's competitors purchased all they wanted leaving MTH with the tooling that no one wanted. No one could have imagined that Lionel and Atlas would own a portion of MTH just a couple of years ago. Now many of us who were interested in MTH's locomotives but hesitated because they did not come with TMMC/or Legacy can now look forward to owning and operating them with a command and control system that we are comfortable with. Furthermore, we can purchase these former MTH locomotives with the peace of mind knowing they are backed by a warranty of a thriving and stable company. And this process has only begun. It's a big deal.
