Redneckgoober, (Is that an alias?--sorry if I'm wrong but your writing pattern looks familiar)

Cooling it? Guy, we're having a discussion, not a New York street brawl! [;)]

Diehard narrow minded rivet counters? What prompted you to spew a sewer gutter, nasty and unprovoked remark like this? [V] No one here has taken "cheap shots" at O scalers and Toy Train collectors, nor should they. Haven't seen or read from rivet counters here. Are you trying to help MTH? You're doing a very poor job!

Upon last check:

O scalers, #1 Scalers, G Scalers, Tin Platers, Toy Train collectors, LIve Steamers,
HO-N-Z modelers, Freelancers, Prototypists, and "Roundy-Rounders"

ARE ALL TRAIN ENTHUSIASTS!

So we can agree to "cool it", but your way of stating it is like a mobster telling some poor ***: "Hey buddy, just relax and calm down. No hard feelings!"just after he whacks him with a 2'x4' !

Be cool! [;)]

I'm about as far from a rivet counter as you can get. I own a Lionel King Tut boxcar with a golden sarcophagus inside its see through window :).

I agree it is dead for sure, but the announcement must have been so big, it went right over our heads. Maybe next time, they will make a small announcement.

Well, *** Maddox left Lionel because he knew he couldn't compete with MTH. He's now at Atlas and he's found out that Atlas O isn't flying. MTH has them beat hands down.


Who told you that? I just got the latest issue of Classic Toy Trains. The Atlas O GP60M and GP60Bs reviewed recieved Top Notch Ratings![tup] The Atlas locomotives had no cons whatsoever (the guy who reviewed them continualy went on and on about how great they were[:)][8D]) in the review, while the MTH Little Joe had quite a few. About detail! Hmmm..... Atlas O isn't flying? IMO, Atlas O is surpassing even Lionel in the O scale world! They've taken their mastery from HO and have shown the O manufactuers what making detailed, well-running models is all about! If I were MTH, I'd be worried.

In the words of AntonioFP45, Cheers and High Greens! (man I've always wanted to say that![;)][:p]

"LAUGH" Atlas O isn;t flying. LOL LOL LOL

THat is a absolute howl, it's now complelty obvious that whoever wrote those lines is not a train enthusist, but mearly a troll who wandered in and wrote some hatefull stuff. Anyone who has even looked at a Atlas offering could recognize the superior quality of the product.

In the end we have no need for MTH. His place can be easily taken by the likes of Thrid Rail, Atlas, Weaver, K-line, and Lionel. THe advantages to these companies named is that they actually produce the product they say they are, and that any thrid rail piece completely destroys any MTH piece.

In the end, in ten years when i am still running both TMCC and TMCC-2, you MTH backers will have the comfort that you can allways convert your defunct DCS system to TMCC or TMCC-2 since they will still be being produced, and will be even better than ever due to open code and the knowage that it is,a nd always will be the superior system.
Now i'm going to go run some trains and relax, turn the lights down low, and enjoy a Lionel FA-2 making happy noises. You DCS people can do the same, run a train, turn the lights down low !!!OOOPPPPSSS!!!! sorry, you need to run that pesky DCS signal thru your lights to get them to work?? RIght???[}:)][:D]

Sorry IronRooster! I was on a "tirade". S scale included!

Guys, just pity the poor troll with too much time on his hands, and let's move on!
