QUOTE: Originally posted by Buckeye Riveter Perception, yes perception..... When my friends refer to my trains, I have never heard them say, "You should see Buckeye's Mike Trains". They commonly say, [i]"You should see Buckeye's Lionel Trains." . . . Time will tell as it always does.[^]

So many roads, so little time.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Rivet Counter The interview with Mike Wolf was great! Mike deserves much of the credit for the revival of O gauge and the innovations that we see today. Lionel would be much better off if he was the owner instead of the venture capital bean counters that now control it.

QUOTE: Originally posted by trigtrax IMO, Mike Wolf and folks like him represent the future of O-Gauge Trains. He's willing to take chances and try out new things. Anybody can make rehash Postwar and call something a 6464 but MTH is now the innovative force in O-Gauge.. Just look at subways, while Lionel keeps taking surveys MTH keeps cranking out sets. And I believe that Milwaukie Bi-Polar is one of the most beautiful engines ever produced.
QUOTE: Originally posted by nblum "Whatever happened to the monthly online chats that Jerry Calabrese promised?" Best guess is he has nothing new to say at the moment and is also quite busy defending his company against the great innovator :).
QUOTE: My best guess is that Mike Wolf has him on the ropes and he knows it.
QUOTE: The Reading Company was at one time the largest corporation in the world. The only main line steam engine that Lioenl has ever issued with modern features for the Reading was the 4-6-0 Camelback a few years ago. What gives?
