If I have the story straight, the lawsuit filed by MTH against Lionel (and won) was for stealing proprietory data, like locomotive designs and market assessments. It is possible that Lionel based their entry into HO on less than accurate data. Also, a company the size of Lionel will stagger under the burden of paying the 40.7 million dollar settlement to MTH and this might have influenced their strategic withdrawal from the small train market. Those directly involved with the mess covered in the lawsuit are not longer with Lionel, they did get their walking papers. I just hope Lionel is sufficiently financially solvent to withstand the enormity of the settlement against them <br /> <br />Tom
