BUT.....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>mth models are not user
friendly. Examples:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>- they do not MU consist easily
with other brands, ( you have to set all your locos to their speed
control)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>- you pay a higher price for
functions you cannot use on DC or DC</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>- you have to buy their DCS to use
all the functions</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>- their locos need to be
programmed on the main (per manual)(so you would have to isolate the
locomotive)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>- you pay for gimmicks you nor not
use</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>- their locos are not NMRA
compliant</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>and most of all * Mike does not
play fair in the sandbox* or he will sue.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Perhaps I missed the rumor, but on the Model Railroader newsletter they
mentioned that MTH was doing an HO scale J.</DIV>
<DIV>I checked their website and they have some information and pictures in case
anybody is interested. It would be nice to have </DIV>
<DIV>some different models although I understand the big 3 sell the best.</DIV>
