It seems to me that MTH copies old designs licenser from Lionel.  Perhaps they have reached their limit on the old designs. Maybe they are planning to invent new cars and engines following old styles.They have pretty well covered all the old Lionel and AF as well as the more popular ancient producers.   Odd-d

at the mth booth ,I spoke to mike,,1st saying what a great job he is doing ,as always,on the tinplate stuff,and then slid in,,whats up with this,he reply was ,stock answer,getting caught up on past,390's etc,then would start fresh,i thanked him for his time,,and then said,,,,oh can t wait to see those subway cars,(still mad).so still think a blanket statement would be better directly to us tinplates,but this is as good as it gets,at least I am paying off the stuff from before,,terry

Perhaps MTH, should consider what Dr. Rene Wilfer, the owner of the German firm Piko did: run their OWN factory in China rather than contracting for production. The advantages of such an arrangement are obvious: better quality control, and an enviable on-time delivery schedule! German precision!

I was told that Mike owns his China factories. That doesn't mean he doesn't have labor problems though.

As Terry said, MTH at York says they are just getting caught up and will make some more eventually.  No additional details on when or when there will be a catalog.
