I keep hoping that they will reach a new agreement at some point.
Sorry, but a (replica of a 1930's) tinplate set with logos of a company that didn't even exist, using colors that weren't used, as opposed to a realistic replica of a real Lionel set, doesn't cut it for me!
Glad I've been to York and visited Sidetrack Hobbies for "supplies" on each trip, that has given me a number of Lionel-logo sets that should carry me for quite a while...
OTOH, I collected the complete set of LTC tinplate freight cars (and the recent 263 loco) in cream/orange/blue that makes a beautiful set... I was hoping that MTH might make a matching set of passenger cars with the same color scheme!
