MARC is apart of MDDOT,Bachmann has never done a MARC Hippo. Atlas did a run of MLV-II's as MBTA "K" cars or Rotom cars.

The Rohr Turbos have a 03/17/2020 HARD ORDER DEADLINE,with the discount! They are close but not at the tipping point yet. BAD news,the corona virus forced a 2 month by government order extra shutdown. The factories are back online now

From the Virtual Railfan channel on Youtube,the Ahmerst show Feed,was the following: Scale Trains has acquired the HO and Scale lines of Models from MTH.without the DCS decoders,but includes all the tooling and molds from MTH. So those that own MTH locos and cars still have some support The Factory installed decoders in the futue will be ESU instead of that DCS decoders from "heck"
