MTH lived up to its slogan of “Quality in the tradition you remember”. Their product line offered more variety than their competitors and I have many of their steam locomotives with the last one, Premier Union Pacific Challenger no. 3943, purchased from a dealer just last week. Likely it will be the last MTH locomotive purchased new. It seems safe to say no one will make a steam locomotive smokestack function like MTH!
I wish Mr. Wolf the best in retirement and sincere appreciation for what he brought to our hobby. I also wish MTH staff health and prosperity in their future endeavors.
