My take on MTH is a little different than what I have read. I see MTH putting Lionel into bankruptcy and quite possibly trying to take over Lionel in liu of the enormous financiual settlement the courts have imposed. There could not be, in a hobby as small as model railroading, any firm capable of paying a $40 million lawsuit and remaining in business. I do firmly believe that MTH, with all their lawsuits, is not trying to stifle the DCC market but is trying to force every single one of their competitors out of business so they become the single source for all new control technologies. I believe they intend to force all their competition into the same straits they put Lionel. A more reasonable lawsuit, provided Lionel did evil, might be to sue for a sum that MTH may have a chance of collecting, not for a sum that puts a competitor into the hopper. MTH may succeed with whatever they plan to do, but I believe they will prove to be their own undoing in the end. Just my opinion. <br /> <br />Tom
