We must look way back when MTH was a hobby store and sold lionel and other companies products. <br />MTH got into an importing business with samhongsa in korea and had locos made for weaver and some of their own copies of lionel. <br />Then Richard Kughun had MTH import from samhongsa, for lionel, their first new scale model steam engine, the reading T1 in O -3 rail with their 1st edition of digital(lionels) railsounds. After many enchanges (read it in the big MTH book) MTH started to make his own new stuff and Kughin did not like it. Anyway to make a long story short,Lionel pulled their dealership away from MTH, and Mike sued lionel for in essence taking away his business and MTH won the lawsuit. <br />Bingo mike had the bucks to start his own company on lionels behaff. <br />Now he gets to progress again on lionels behalf with 40+million bucks. <br />The only problem, and I have access to this by having been a qsi 3 rail dealer from 1989 tell they stopped making 3 rail stuff i s qsi has a lawsuit against mth for patent infringements in the making of their DCS system. Copying >>>>just what lionel got sued for. <br />This lawsuit is supposed to come up after the lionel one gets settled. <br />MTH has basically been built by copying and sueing lionel twice to get a large protion of their funds. Like it or not this is the past history for those of you who have not been in 3 rail from the 80-s tell now. <br />If you want proof of what I just said it is all in the very large book MTH put out afew years ago. <br />Remember this is my opinion and if you disagree with me that is fine as we all have the right to freedom of speech, but do not have the right to force someone to not think for themselves. dave roxin.
