Talent Fire - Micro Trains - status update

Anyone know the status of Micro Trains after the Talent Fire?

From the ISE Workbench - Train Shuttle Controller

A bit over four years ago, we put together something called the “DCC auto-reverser” out of an Arduino, an LCD shield, and a motor shield. We designed it for the St. Louis Railway Prototype Modelers’ meet to just operate a train back and forth on our short test track, stopping and reversing the engine when it tripped a sensor at either end. We wrote up the build so that others could make their own, built one for Scott Thornton and his Milan Branch layout, and that was that.
