Hi Arnold, I’ve been in the MTH last hurrah bandwagon since the announcement. I’ve picked up 5 RK steamers, two from the MTH auction, to round out a collection I thought I’d have years to build. Gave 3 of the five to my wife for safe keeping for future Christmas presents. Also picked up some passenger cars (Pennsy pre-war Madison’s and a FoM streamlined coach) to round out my passenger train consists. Those are also safely in my wife’s hands. The MTH operating water tower is just too cool so I picked up one of those too.
Like many, I will miss the value and diversity of product from MTH. There is a huge void to fill for Lionel.
