I'm a big fan of MTH's products and especially DCS.
At one point I had over 50 engines, but then caught the Standard Gauge bug. I sold off every piece of O scale I had and went full bore into Standard Gauge. I've had some life changes in the last few years and ended up selling off all of my Standard Gauge. The only items I kept were a Z-4000 and the DCS system. Although I keep my membership up I haven't been to York in several years.
I recently re-caught the O scale bug and have purchased 3 engines. I plan on this time around to control my buying and enjoy every item I do buy, instead of keeping any of them in boxes. I also plan on attending the next York meet. I certainly hope DCS will somehow be supported by some other entity.
It all started for me about 15 years ago. I walked into The Hobby Shop in Aberdeen NJ looking to buy a slot car set. After browsing for about an hour I walked out with a Railking starter set instead. 
Thanks Mike for what you've done for this hobby. Enjoy your retirement!
