RMT status

I was wondering the same thing. He's such a great guy. Hope he's OK. Don

The last update on his website was January 2.

Hopefully we will hear something at York.

Just wrote him. Hope he writes back. Don

This was also discussed about a month ago; I had posted something to the effect that RMT folded with Aristo-Craft, but someone posted that Walter was on his own with RMT.

I talked to Walter at the Allentown meet in February and got the impression, from our conversation, that he would have product this year.

Maybe he'll be at York and we can ask him.

Walter has posted in the last day or so:

Walter Matuch

Pretty sure it's the same Walter Matuch, looks like he's been helping to liquidate trains for an estate . Might be why he hasn't been around much.

I hope he and RMT will be back soon.

It's the same guy.

The last time I spoke with Walter--several weeks ago--he indicated he would not be at the April York Meet.

Bummer, that plan goes in the bucket.

I believe the company basically is Walter and his wife. I think it would be a tall task to keep up with the whole product line with the addition the old K-Line track and accessories. I wish Walter luck either way.

yea it must be alot, I would just hang tight, but I must say, after having got back into O gauge, I've really liked RMT

From the sales and all near the end I suspected there were cash-flow problems, likely considering Aristo folded, and those take a while to recover from.  I hope he does - RMT is one very cool little company. 

Give Walter a little more time and he should be back selling under the RMT name.

The last I know is that he was doing an estate sale for somebody and was selling off the model trains the person had collected. He emailed me a couple of times about buying a certain Reading Company set made by K-Line but I turned him down due to my finances, because I really would like to buy that set.

The Aristo-Craft situation, he said, was that his contract would not allow him to sell that brand after a date in December.  Aristo has now gone out of business, so I presume he was going to go after a new source.

Hope he sees this and gives us all an update.

As stated earlier, his website has not been updated since early January.

Walter was very active on this Forum last year when he was posting all of his blow out sales. Seems strange that he would not be at least updating the future for RMT.

You notice there has been no response from Walter on here. Kinda makes you wonder doesn't it.
