Do I think MTH will continue to make tinplate? Absolutely because he loves the product.
But he is also a businessman who has to make a profit. Given all that Mike has done with/for tinplate in the last 30+(?) years I don't think he owes anyone anything.

That's what I think as well ... not sure if models based on modern ones would sell except for a select few.
As a side note, I was looking at videos of HO Hornby Live steam engines last night.
They seemed to stopped selling these but O or Standard gauge live steam would be so cool !
Imagine a 263 live steamer from MTH ...

Here is an older video from Hornby ... skip ahead to see the models running.
