Although I just got back in the hobby in 2012, I did so because of MTH and DCS. Unfortunately, I was orphaned by Commodore with the Amiga and Toshiba with the Thrive. And now I feel the same is happening with MTH/DCS. Fortunately, I’ve only got 2 engines, the TIU and Remote, so I don’t have that much invested, but I’m about to start construction and I’m left wondering if I should bother. Guess when we get home from our vacation in Georgia I’ll do some soul searching and make a decision. I’m already not happy with the space I have, so the demise of MTH is just another reason to reconsider moving forward. Still, I give Mike credit for what he’s done for the hobby. I don’t know the history between him and Lionel, but it looks to me like there might not be an O Scale hobby if not for MTH. And the road forward seems very unclear.
