Scale Trains bought the HO line from MTH as well as the complete S gauge line that MTH had previously purchased from the S Helper Service founder and owner. ST appears to be a top end supplier. First, prior to the S gauge purchase they had discussions with some S gauge operators to better understand their future client base. They are carefully reviewing/improving all the designs and tools prior to putting the MTH cars and track back into production. Preorders for the first new run of hoppers were just opened, I ordered four to start. S gauge engines are likely a ways off. There are many issues to solve, more than for the HO engines.

We in S gauge are very fortunate that ST has entered the market.

  • Publicly owning up to their mistakes.
  • Rejecting batches of production and factory errors.
  • Doing right by customers after the sale to correct problems that initially went unnoticed.
  • Improving production processes with the goal of getting future models right going forward.

What a refreshing business model!

Count me among those who would love to see them make O Gauge trains too.
