Jim (and others),
With all due respect let's look at this objectively:
- Does Lionel presently make the electrical and mechanical parts that keep Postwar stuff going?
- Do they still have them in inventory?
- How often do Postwar owners have to go to a third-party for replacements because Lionel considers them obsolete?
- How many third-party parts sources are there?
- Are their prices lower, the same as, or higher than Lionel's?
Before the recent announcement third-party electronics parts sources weren't needed. Now that they are let's wait a little while before writing off all command control, to see if any pop up. Let them get organized and up to speed.
Hobbies are supposed to exist to allow people to slow down and relax. If that's the case why is it that so many of us hobbyists on this forum have so little patience?
