Once again I applaud MTH for making this totally logical business decision. By purchasing the S Helper line they are buying an established brand well know in the S scale market. With their resources and marketing expertise they are in a perfect position to grow the S scale market over time.
The S scale market is relatively small and the folks who model in that scale have not had the abundance of product or accessories available to the HO and O scale markets.
This is a wonderful opportunity for MTH to expand their business to accomodate S scale modelers and make the company one step closer to being a one stop manufacturer for the entire model railroad hobby.
