No idea? What are you talking about? You did see this https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...1#164306572036090011 right?
All of the TMCC and Legacy parts that are modular all went out of stock in one fell swoop. Even the RailSounds universal power supply boards are gone. Of all the circuit they could surely still make, and would likely have the largest supply of, the power supply boards would be it!
Surely voltage regulators aren’t obsolete!
As for MTH getting their hands on Mike Reagan, they are surely paying him well, and offered him an equity interest, or that's what we've heard. Time will tell whether this is merely rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic or something wonderful for MTH fans. No irony in that, just uncertainty as with all things in the future. Mike Reagan needs to make a living as he's a young guy. He loses nothing even if MTH completely disappears from the face of the earth, so why not give it a go since he's done it before?
If he has an equity stake like you say, I’m pretty sure he loses something if “MTH completely disappears from the face of the Earth.”
