In my opinion, Mike Wolf was a visionary in the world of model trains. I put him on par with Joshua Lionel Cowen.
I would not have been back in O gauge model railroading for the past 25 years without the products made by Mike's company. I think it's unfortunate that, after building up a business and becoming a successful competitor of Lionel, he had no alternative but to downsize his company so he could retire. He made my O gauge hobby possible and enjoyable.
If Mike preferred to retire - so be it - he deserves it. I just would like to see the New MTH producing the interesting new model trains that they did during the PS1 years - and beyond.
