Reply to "JULY 15th, 2021 - LIONEL PURCHASE OF MTH TOOLING ... PLEASE READ!"

If there is an analogy here it may be this: Robert E Lee surrender at Appomattox in April 1865 did not mean the immediate end of the Civil War. The war dragged on a few more months before all the remaining Confederate Armies surrendered.  However, everyone who was there at Appomattox knew exactly what Lee's surrender represented and that the war was essentially over. MTH selling a broad selection of it's tooling to Lionel is MTH's Appomattox.

More analogies to war...  I thought this was supposed to be a "happy day" where everyone get's what they wanted (Legacy MTH engines, continued production of DCS).  Incessantly rubbing peoples noses in it is the tack some people take I suppose.

I'm sure it seems that way if that is what you want to believe but every news release from MTH is about another piece of the company being sold off or closed down.  MTH is on a slow path downward.

We will know in a year or two.

Apparently you aren't subscribed to their newsletter.  They've probably made 100 announcements since the one announcing Mike's retirement, all about new road names and special runs.  There have been two "downsizing" announcements, the original about the planned retirement and potential sale of the company and then the one about the selling of a subset of tooling to Atlas. 

We'll know what exactly in a year or two?
