I have been away from trains for almost 2 years, so bear with me, I am woefully out of date on the status of MTH. So I have some questions:
>Is MTH being shutdown, sold in total or piecemealed to other entrepreneurs?
>Will there be parts to service DCS?

The very short of it is as follows:
-MTH is closing, there is no one currently set to pick up the product line.
-Warranty and parts will still be handled for about a year or so after MTH closes.
-DCS is being spun off as it's own thing and continued.

The really short answer is that we really don't know what will happen. We do know that the picture will certainly be different than today. 
There are only a few known facts. Mike Wolf said the company would close for good (maybe) come mid-2021. He said there would be continued parts and service, and a separate company to further develop DCS. As John notes, those are intentions, not yet realities. I believe it is confirmed that the building MTH has used for decades has indeed been sold so whatever company survives, if any, will be at a new address, presumably. Just going to have to wait and see what the facts on the ground turn out to be next year.
