MTH HO J

[NW Modeling List]

How could the BLI vs MTH lawsuit have ended up like that?   Did BLI actually steal technology/mechanical stuff from MTH?

I don't understand why MTH thinks ANY of their steam engines are so accurate when they don't even blacken the axle ends or metal wheels.  Their stuff looks too much like a toy for me to ever give them any serious consideration.

The mth J is the BLI J won in a lawsuit with a higher price and a proprietary system that you will not use, unless you by their system.
The BLI J is very correct and smoke can be added (easy install) for less than the mth J.
Don't waste your money! As far as the cars are concerned, the photos are in fact brass models, not their production run.

Note: mth is again suing BLI over synchronized smoke and chuff, sound and motion filed on Oct 9, in the District Court in Baltimore per Maryland Daily Recorder.

To those of you that have purchased the MTH HO J, what is your opinion as to the quality, performance and appearance of the model?  Without starting another discussion of the proper shade of Tuscan Red, is the color on the model within the ballpark of acceptable assuming that it will be the same color MTH applies to their passenger cars?  Does anyone know if the cars will be "reasonably" accurate and worth purchasing? I understand from the company that the cars have been delayed until Spring of 2010.  Thank you.
