Something Missing?

Several decades ago, the three rail O gauge hobby consisted mainly of restoring and running postwar Lionel® trains and the most elaborate way to run three-rail trains was a rebuilt ZW transformer. Then, Mike Wolf opened a toy train mail order business.

Two things came together: A generation of children raised on Lionel and American Flyer trains reached a point in their lives when they had the time, money, and desire to have a hobby. And folks with vision created products to fill that desire, at M.T.H., Lionel, Atlas, Williams, Weaver, QSI, Third Rail, and others, along with pioneers who are no longer in the hobby, like Jerry Williams, Bill Benson of Right of Way, and Maury Klein of KLine.

The model railroad company publishes a weekly e-newsletter, and try to make their catalogs and other literature as inviting, informative, and fun to read as possible.

They have a broad product range of model trains. M.T.H. offers full product lines in HO scale, two-rail and three-rail O Gauge, One Gauge, and Lionel Corporation Tinplate.

MTH has separate research and development facility in Michigan, with its own dedicated staff. They were the first model railroad company to establish ongoing seminars to train and update technicians at more than 150 M.T.H. Authorized Service Centers.
