There were so many things that would not have been offered except for MTH: Mallets, Subways, BIG transformers, all those accessories, a control system that was upgradable, and so much more. Though I only run conventional, my Railking Challenger and Z4000 are the most prized items of the modern era in my collection.
As has been hoped by others here, maybe Menards will be able to make some of Mike's trains, if only the Bantam line for starter sets.
I hope all his employees find success and security in the future in this day and age.
