c.sam posted:I asked a question on the 'DCS Users Group' thread from York - "Did anyone confront MTH with some of these concerns about the future of the company? What is happening with their HO product line? Why only one new O gauge steam locomotive (L3 Mohawk ) since 2009? How about S gauge?"
Received sort of a rebuke saying that MTH is doing well and what 'problems' was I talking about. I like MTH products. Was a first-generation dealer back when I had a hobby shop many years ago. I just ran a set of their UP Alco PAs at a HO club today and they are terrific. The only HO diesels that have smoke to my knowledge and the fellas all admired the sounds and detail. Mike CAN do it, but why the delays?
Apparently MTH has invested ~$400K into the new wireless DCS app (according to Mike's TCA museum discussion). My guess is that has sucked up a lot of R&D budget from products. I wonder if Mike gets that the perception on the street is that MTH might be struggling a bit. I thought he would address that, but all he did was talk about the app.
