A Mountain From Pennsylvania
As long as I had the Pennsy freight train on the tracks, I decided to shoot the last of my big PRR freight hauling steamers. This is a True HD 1080p video of the MTH Premier PRR Mountain (4-8-2) steam … Continue reading
Ives Standard Gauge
On a visit to Trains & Things in Trenton, NJ where Mike Wolf of MTH Electric Trains was visiting, they had on display the 2007 MTH reproduction of the Ives Olympian set, which was one of the last made by … Continue reading
Pennsylvania’s Massive Freight Hauler
Just about nine years ago, I got the MTH Premier model of the Pennsylvania Railroad Q2, a duplex-drive 4-4-6-4 freight hauling behemoth of a steam locomotive. It was one of the first locomotives equipped with Protosound 2 (PS2). I've had … Continue reading
The Great Northern
This is another unusual video. It shows the MTH Premier Great Northern (GN) S-2 Northern-type (4-8-4) steam locomotive pulling a large consist of 36' woodsided reefers. That's quite a load, and the S-2 runs out of oomph. It calls for … Continue reading
Double-Headed Boxcabs
While the Pennsylvania Railroad FF1 and FF2 boxcab electric locomotives belonged to different eras, there are some perks to running your own railroad! 🙂 In this True HD 1080p video, you get to see them double-headed (that's the FF1 — … Continue reading
A Locomotive With Amazing Gears!
In June of 2003, MTH brought out a Premier model of a 4-truck Shay steam locomotive, decorated for C&O and featuring PS2 (I already had the one issued years earlier with PS1 decorated for WVP&P). A Shay locomotive was designed … Continue reading
Big Liz
Big Liz starred in the very first video that I uploaded to YouTube, so it's only fitting that she get her own True HD 1080p video. In this video, I have her hauling a dozen Pennsy freight cars, though that's … Continue reading
Yard Operations
In the previous video I showed the MTH Premier D16d pulling its 19th century passenger cars. This was shot on Track 1, my outer O-72 loop which is closest to the camera. This train normally resides on a storage track … Continue reading
Back to the 19th Century
In December of 2005 I received the MTH Premier PRR D16d American (4-4-0) steam locomotive. This is a model of a high strutting late 19th/early 20th century steam locomotive, complete with high domes. From the large 80" drivers, you know … Continue reading
