I have been hearing rumbles on other forums that Mike Wolf may be getting his MTH ready to start producing items in S. As most of you already know, MTH has...
Won't make much difference to me if MTH comes into or stays out of S... nor will it make a penny's worth of difference to MTH's pockets as far as having me as...
John, Please explain why you feel that way about MTH stuff. I mean the part about it being junk. CTT thought that their version of the Southern Pacific ...
None of us can predict the future or else those who could would be fabulously wealthy. So who can say what law suits might arise in the future? I have no...
It would be nice if they come out with some new ideas and not just redo old American Flyer stuff like Lionel has done for so many years. As for the lawsutes...
Every bit of their stuff that I've seen was highly inaccurate in every way from the paint to the details. If they have another line of stuff that is more...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I see and talk to the folks from LIONEL and Mike Wolf every six months, same time, same place. Mike knows my name and we carry on a...
... S-gauged equipment. If K-Line had the money Lionel did they could still be fighting lionel like lionel is fighting Mikes. If you look at it Lionel did the...

GUYS: I've been notified by Joe Warren that he's about to make a new run of the original citrus shed kits. If you missed out the first time around, here's the...
I have a diecast 343 boiler shell for sale. It has had paint removed to bare metal - nothing broken. Brass bell and whistle are present and tight. All 10...
If MTH makes S gage , I am all for it. His products are far better then the rest in "O". I just ran my new out ofthe box LTI China-Flyer C&NW Baldwin and it...
I have a different reason to stay away from S (or anything) from MTH. I think their products and service, well, stink. I have had a top of the line Tinplate...
Hello, We can't afford to drive away anyone who is looking to create product in our beloved "S"scale. If it doesn't interest you, so what?. Perhaps someone...
John, The one engine set that I personally owed was the aforementioned O scale Daylight Premier. According to my more or less official Daylight book, and from...
I have some (limited) experience with MTH in O scale and it's all been good. In visiting with my local train shop owner, he now openly prefers MTH to Lionel...
My involvement with the 2007 Denver TCA convention gave my a chance to spend a little time with Mike wolf. Mike Wolf did impress me, He seems passionate...

John, et al; I have had very similar problems with five model train manufacturers, including MTH, but excluding only K-Line. I have few of their products but ...
When it's all said and done, Mike Wolf or Lionel are probably not the Saints or Sinners that some describe. Working at the hobby shop for many years, I...

I don't think of my avoiding MTH as a boycott-it's "self protect" mode. The engines that I had the problems with were MSRP $1,000 items, and built in...
Last night I finished the accessories and the remainder of the 2007 catalogs, so everything is now in the Gallery. Most of the accessories, all of the 2007...
