Sorry to be the voice of dissention here guys. I'm usually glad to hear of new manufacturers getting interesred in "S", but I, for one am not excited about MTH. I dont want to see him trying to put our veteran builders out of business by bullying them with bogus lawsuits like he's done in the other scales. I didn't buy his stuff when I was in HO (not all that long ago) and I won't do it now, even though they have made some very nice stuff. I like to do business with people who play fair, and try to get along with others.
