[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by NYC56 Please forgive me if I am way out of touch with the Problems with MTH and the HO Scale Modellers. As someone in their Late 40's and not having an official training in Railroad Modeling, Why should I NOT buy a MTH locomotive? I really feel that it is up to the modeler to support who they want to and isn't it Service, Price, and what YOU want to buy and model more important? Tell me where I'm wrong here! I'm into this now as a hobby and want to get the most enjoyment for my Grand Son and myself. Chris [/quote] Chris You should purchase whatever you want from anyone that you choose. This hobby is a fun way of spending time, and if the product is good, you should enjoy it. I have a BLI K4, a Spectrum K4 and a PFM K4, so I probably will not be getting one of the MTH models. I would seem logical to me if MTH wanted to make a hit with the HO market, they would have imported one of the models we have been asking for in this forum and some ot the others out there. They have ignored our requests for certain engines that have only been available in brass for many years and came out with one that has been available many times over in brass and now plastic and cast metal. The same goes for BLI and most of the other importers ignoring the Northern Pacific and DM&IR, Illinois Central and many other railroads. If you count USRA models, a few have been imported, but they represent the USRA version and are not modified as specific railroads changed them. I don't believe any of us really knows how the MTH will work with HO DCC until they are out on the market. I do know about the #1 Scale MTH DCC system since I do have one and it is not compatible with other DCC. In my opion, the MTH does have the best sound that is available today for steam, including my PFM sound unit.
