[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 JNichols, The MTH rep stated that the BLI K4 was originally a Lionel unit, copied from MTH? Interesting. Yet, this was not mentioned before on this forum nor was their any mention during 2003-2005 when the lawsuits and flames were flying. Is there any info that verifies this? No disrespect to you, I find it intriguing but am still skeptical. When the MTH vs. Lionel suit was filed, all we and the rest of the public read about were the O scale plans. Nothing about an HO K4. [/quote] Interesting comment. When Lionel started HO, they must have had a list and prototype models being developed as an ongoing HO project. The first two were shipped before the court decision came down and HO was cancelled. Part of the problem was the quality of the first two projects. I own both of them and both are poor in overall running quality and detail. I know many have said and will say they are happy with their Lionel HO, but both of my units required major work to run properly. I also would like the LED's to work when I get a model. It might be true about the K4 origins, but who in the hobby world could verify the statement??? Would this be part of the settlement in product value instead of money??? Does that possibly mean we might see MTH Veranda's and Challengers?? Time might tell us these questions.
