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,….

I agree but the cost of used equipment has gone up as well. Still, I think it is worth it to upgrade older equipment. In the last 2 years I bought 3 locomotives. None of them have electronics. MTH Premier Berkshire, Premier Atlantic and a Weaver Consolidation. Total cost $1,100. If the electronics cost me $600 (I can install them myself) for all three locomotives I am still cheaper than the new Lionel 2-10-0. I am very happy I bought those locomotives when the prices were down.

I also agree there is a certain satisfaction from bringing a locomotive back from the dead.
