Toy Train Attitude? Get a life.

I know nothing about MTH, other than I have heard their name. As far as I know our local hobby shops don't carry them so to the best of my knowledge I have never seen their products. Perhaps they are sold under other brand names.

I am going by the their web page. The models shown there do not look like scale models, certainly not of the quality I would be prepared to buy. I did not look at every model they had in their catalogue, but I tried to look at a few and I saw a toy train look to many of them. I don't buy toy trains. Just the fact it may sound good is not reason enough for me to buy something.
