@David98 posted:Perhaps one reason for the end of MTH as we know it is not the perceived shrinking of the hobby, but the writing on the wall regarding 3-D printed model trains, and shareware model designs. Some day, anyone will be able to 3-D print virtually any train item; it is just a question of how far off that future is.

Relates a bit to another thread about production of undecorated engines and rolling stock. If we get 3-D printed bodies that can be mass customized to whatever road name and color scheme we want, there very well could be businesses in making rolling three-rail computers.
