Several of us in the groups I am in like to run and we do multiple train shows each year and the MTH stuff just plain runs for hours without any fussing. I like having the benefits of command, sounds, smoke, and the tinplate. Because we run them others have brought out their trains to run and that is where I fear we will lose people and not grow the hobby, and I think older stuff will once again go back to collecting dust on a shelf since parts might not be made.
I hope I am wrong.....
