"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

MTH...Are you serious about staying in One Gauge? There is nothing new in this catalog except for a Big Boy. Then again you have released Big Boys in the past...2 production runs if I remember correctly.

 

So since 2007 you have not offered anything new in the 1:32 world.

 

MTH, At one time you were king with your One-Gauge offerings...nowadays I put you at number 3.

 

It's a shame

That's a lame excuse for not even cataloging a new item. 

 

LGB/ Marklin has it's problems...that I'm well aware of.

 

Aristo-Craft brought on it's own demise thanks to Uncle Lewis.

 

USA Trains/ Charles Ro has an ongoing survey about what the customers want next and choices are Challengers, FEF, Dreyfus Hudson, K4, F40PH, heavyweights, amfleet cars, 60' high-cube boxcar, 89' flatcar, 60' gondolas etc.

 

Accucraft/ AML is constantly pumping out new brass electric/ live steam engines. 1:32 scale brass passenger cars are next @ $300 a pop. A plastic GP60M is in the works along with 50' high-cube boxcars.

 

Over in the European Spur 1 market there is new products being released by numerous manufacturers.

 

While USA Trains has introduced 89' bi-level enclosed auto-racks which measure over 39" long x 8" tall along with 60' boxcars and 2 new kinds of tank cars MTH has introduced nothing.

I am not sure who you are fooling? GP60s??? High cubes??

You should include the dates on their release. I have been waiting for years to see the GP60.

 I am just glad MTH has stayed in the game. They released so many G gauge engines, it is tough to count them.

 What in the world are you saying about Lewis? The guy is retired! May he enjoy life now, and thank him for all he did. How many G scalers own his products???
