Reply to "MTH's impact on S"

While this banter about MTH and Lionel is going on, I wonder what AM is doing. MTH and Lionel both make O scale versions of just about every model AM makes. Will this new competition with AM sink their ship? Ron’s FP7 is what got me into S so many yrs ago. I hope he hangs in there. MTH has stuck with HO and made a go of it while Lionel seems to abort their HO before really giving it a chance. MTH will stick with S, and if their track record with HO is any indication we scale people will benefit. MTH has been considering S for a long time. I talked with Mike Wolf in 2006 about S. But Lionel’s doing more than sticking their proverbial toe in the water, since they jumped from a U33C to an SD70ACe and scale cylindrical hopper. I’ve never seen Lionel do that with their HO. Only time will answer our questions but it sure is fun to hypothesize…… .
