nickaix - Further to your comments above, for a variety of reasons many hobbyists feel that if it hadn't been for Richard Kughn's purchase (rescue) of Lionel in the 80s the company wouldn't have lasted into the 90s. Plus, when you think of it, Richard was just doing then what Mike is doing now - retiring; although Richard was far older than Mike presently is, and one can appreciate Dick's desire - at his age - wanting to liquidate his assets.
