You make a valid point. "Forced to choose" was an overstatement. I'm not speaking for all MTH fans--just my own journey. For 20+ years I've been getting both MTH and Lionel catalogs and, quite frankly, there was such an extensive selection from MTH that I've had no need to choose engines from the Lionel catalogs. As it was, I could barely scratch the surface of buying from my want list from just MTH's catalogs. When I decided to get into the command environment, I wasn't going to just jump into both MTH and Lionel at the same time so I could have even more choices. And I already had PS2 engines. Today, however, both remotes perhaps makes a lot of sense, given the downsizing and no catalogs from MTH. You are right in that, today, why limit your choices?
Yep,..and that’s the point I was trying to convey,….I totally agree MTH did venture into a grand plethora of models vs. the “other guys” ……the other point I’ll make is given the current cost of new equipment, taking older MTH PS1 or dead PS2 equipment and making it TMCC is another viable option,….
