Settlement reported in toy train suit
Dow Jones News Service

Lionel has reached a tentative deal with rival MTH Electric Trains to settle a long-running trade-secrets battle and to put the 107-year-old model train maker on track to exit bankruptcy by early next year, the companies said Friday.

The proposed deal, whose terms were not released, comes nearly three years after MTH’s $38.6 million judgment against Lionel in a trade-secrets lawsuit forced its rival into bankruptcy.

But Mike Wolf, founder of Columbia, Md.-based MTH, cautioned that the settlement, which is contingent on Lionel raising new financing, is not yet a done deal.

Lionel, based in Chesterfield, Mich., is owned by the estate of former Paramount chairman Martin Davis and rock musician Neil Young.
