Reply to "Tinplate is seems to be selling out fast."

I think Standard gauge has always had a universal attraction to people. If you have a specific gauge you tend to model in and a limited train budget as most of us do, scratching the Standard Gauge Itch is an "on the back burner", "someday" ideal.

But with no crystal ball to predict when or IF a new manufacturer of Standard Gauge will appear, some are scratching their itch now.

Not having an MTH successor leaves a huge competitive void in several scales. And all those $$ now available for other endeavors. (like Tinplate).

One could almost speculate that Mikes' decision to "sell the business" is a part of his on going legacy to create even more Interest and demand in our hobby!

Thank you Mike Wolf for promoting and giving others the opportunity to collect and enjoy the toys of a bygone era...today, and probably another 100 years.
