I have been reading that a lot of people are concerned about what the future hold for many reasons - the hobby, competition, prince increases, support, World events, etc. Yes, all valid concerns. Though, yesterday evening, Steve Nelson (Mr. Muffin’s Trains) sent out an email that makes a few good points.
I think we need to take this event and see where it leads. In the coming months, a lot can change, hopefully for the better. Myself, having just gotten back into O-scale a few years ago, owe a lot to my LHS and MTH. I have locomotives on order in the 2020v1 catalog that I want to own and run that, though released in years past, were previously hard to find (N&W 611). I am not cancelling my order, and, with that, I haven’t lost hope.
While I know we (the entire world) is in uncertain at times, it has always been uncertain. US and World events change constantly at the drop of a hat. Despite all of this, I am going to continue to move forward with my hobby that I enjoy and I plan (optimistically) to see MTH, DCS, and O-scale continue to move forward also.
