MTH has made a big impact on the O gauge model train market. In the early 90s sales skyrocketed to over $60 million. This dramatic growth has been fueled by the emergence of a new breed of model railroaders called "Hi-Raiders" (layout builders who want the dependability of three-rail operation with scale model accuracy).
