AS far as MTH vs. QSI, from what i have read (so take it with a grain of salt) is that it has the ability to be even farther reaching than the Lionel suit. Mth originally contracted with QSI to do the sound in the Proto 1 series. When MTH decided to go to Proto 2, the idea is that they stole many propitary ideas from the QSI chips installed in the Proto 1 locos. <br /> If this is true, and we have to wait for another trial to resolve it, it is outright theft, pure and simple. <br /> However, i really don't know if after all, the Lionel suit will be helpfull for MTH. All the bad press Mike WOlf at MTH has gotten over this cannot be worth the 40 million he got for it. THe fact that ANDY felt the need to respond is proof enough that there is a real concern that they won the battle but lost the war. We in the train comunity have very LOOOOONNNNGGG memories[:D], i for one will never buy any MTH stuff again. Seing how in three rail i spend on average of 5-10 thousand a year, that means more will go to Atlas, K-line, Lionel, Weaver, and thirdrail. <br /> There was a great post that got deleated by i believe Walt on the CTT board. He had some real information on the suit. Perhaps if you ask, he will email you in private, it was very provotavie reading. Since the moderatios here rarly pull threads, his was yanked very quickly that i had to believe that pressure was brought from somewhere else. <br /> Bill
