Berkshire President posted:The sky has supposedly been falling on the 3 rail O scale hobby for almost 20 years....yet here we are, with enough people to support Lionel, MTH, and a host of other manufacturers.
Also, think about how much more tooling both Lionel and MTH have now.....compared to what Lionel had as recently as 1990.
In respectful memory of an old Member who sadly passed away, we're not quite dead yet.
To clarify:
I have no doubt that 3-rail will survive for the foreseeable future. That was not my lament.
My lament is for what may be lack of newly tooled content (in this case from MTH) in view of those that participate in 3-rail. New product(s) add(s) excitement to the hobby and helps to invigorate the hobby. That will be lacking, from MTH, anyway.
Keep in mind also that this is not a concern for me (I'm in HO), but my 3-rail friends that are here.
