    Was a big fan of MTH Trains (O scale) when they came out. Use to put a display up for the holidays that was roughly 22x5 with 4 trains running. Used the RealTrax since we took it down after the holidays. Over time the track tabs would break but I purchased so much of it I was good till few years ago I had to buy some more. Quality has changed as the rails on the track I had were solid and the crap MTH sells today is more like the old Lionel track. It's more stamped tin track and hollow inside. Best thing about is ... the new track wont work with the older, especially the curves, as the rails don't line up.

    Quoted from tdddddd:

    Columbia, Maryland, June 9, 2020 --- M.T.H. Electric Trains president Mike Wolf has announced his retirement and the closure of his business effective June 1, 2021. Below is the text of his announcement sent to the M.T.H. Electric Trains Authorized Retailer network on the evening of June 8, 2020.

    WOW didn't see that coming! Have a lot of MTH stuff and always liked their products, except when they went cheap on their REALTRAX. Be hard to think that someone won't buy this company unless Mike Wolf just wants a ridiculous amount for it. Hopefully something will happen!

    Quoted from DeathHimself:

    Mike has stated a few times over the last year or so that he has been thinking about packing it in and finally made it official, I just assumed that he would have children that would have picked up the ball and ran with it but guess not.

    Sometimes you do see where the kids have no desire to take over the family business, guess this is the case here. Hopefully he works something out as they make some nice products. For a good while he had a lot of products made that were related to Pittsburgh, my hometown, that I collected. When he first started making stuff I was like "gotta get that as it's probably a 1 or 2 time thing". He went on to make at least 30 carss related to Pittsburgh.
