I guess the question is: "Will a personal touch be gone?" Yes, it is a
larger company with other gauges to pay attention to, but possibly MTH
will have some personal interactions with S gaugers. I know that it
would be exceedingly difficult to have SHS' help, involvement, and
personal touches in any size company. I do hope that the personal
aspects will be better than Lionel and their scale offerings, but one
can't expect 'major' (is MTH major?) companies to provide a fantastic
product, with all that we desire, and provide the personal interactions
that we were used to with SHS - although it would be nice to have some.
Let's just wait and see what MTH comes up with.

What will be gone is the personal touch that the gang at SHS supplied
at no extra charge.
