Like others here on this forum, I don't know if I would be in this hobby were it not for Mike. The only offering out there was not near in scale or detail, that we now demand, thanks to Mike for an affordable price.
As far as MTH going away, never to be seen again, I hope not and doubt it would. Outside money thought Lionel was a good investment more than once. With the tooling, parts base and good will and other assets, MTH under different ownership makes financial sense.
I can't see us in 10 years with the absence of DCS, rendering our DCS engines, structures and accessories obsolete. Some of you friends have upwards of 50 engines. If a retrofit was available for $200 an engine,...you do the math. Hopefully this is transition and re-birth, not demise.
Godspeed Mike, and please be on the new board and hopefully Mr. Foster and Andy will stay with a new MTH as well, in addition to the other people that make MTH what it is today.
