O Scale MTH Model Trains
MTH (Mike’s Train House) Electric Trains was established by Mike Wolf, a great hobbyist who began earning in the model train industry at age 12. The company was formally established in 1980 as a distributor of Lionel trains. They opted to manufacture their own trains in 1983 and in 1987, MTH partnered with Lionel to produce different Lionel model scale trains. However, MTH decided to cut their ties with Lionel and entered the market with their model scale trains in 1993. Today, MTH is reputed to be one of the biggest manufacturers of model trains in the world for one scale model.
The success of MTH is based on their high quality O scale model trains. The current O scale MTH were based on the re-released model trains of MTH in 1993. They are reported to be the biggest O scale model trains manufacturer because of their expertise with the model scale especially on the electronic components. MTH model trains can adapt to any type of electronic controllers such as DCC (Direct Command Control), TMCC (Trainmaster Command Control) and DCS (Digital Command System). The O scale model trains of MTH are also known to be very competitive when it comes to pricing that it helped drag down the prices of model scales in the industry.
