Long live the ROCK!!

701f4a942dbe26e1c64cec6dbc076fa2

The fun never stops!  We are super excited to be releasing this engine!  This particular locomotive has a fascinating history.  Today it is currently cosmetically preserved and on display in Peoria, IL. at the "Wheels O'Time Museum" courtesy of the Rock Island Technical Society.

CRI&P #886 as preserved

Acquired by the society in 1984, it has been lovingly looked after by its members.  This engine is one of only three Rock Island steam locomotives still around.

From the Rock Island Technical Society website on #886;  "The last Rock Island steam-powered train to leave Peoria was hauled by #886, which the railroad agreed to donate to the city, but it was discovered too late that the engine had already been scrapped. The railroad still had an identical engine, #887, which they simply repainted as #886."

Our version, with the help of MTH, will have a finished look as delivered by ALCo to the Rock in 1909.  We have requested that this engine come with the long tender, instead of the short one, as we have offered with the Q's engine.

Equipped with all the PS 3.0 features you are accustomed to.  Smoke out the top, wheels on the bottom, goes "ding-ding" and "woo-woo".  Price $1250.

4-6-2 RI Pacific

The above picture is in our collection.  We purchased this picture from the bay.  It was part of a larger selection from the Roger Graham Collection of Stillwater, MN.

The model has the most up to date files from MTH.  MTH has not released a new sound file to correct the issue with the PFA sequence when the quilling whistle is enabled.  However you can prevent the issue from occurring by making sure the quilling whistle (SPW softkey) is turned off before entering the PFA sequence. The issue will not cause any damage to the locomotive, even if the quilling whistle is enabled when the PFA sequence is started.  If and when MTH issues a corrected sound file the locomotive can be easily and quickly updated.

BTW, personally called @TrainWorld.com this week and he was unaware of this known sound file problem. They have a ton of these affected engines.

I tried to bring this up to MTH during the Trainworld interview during York last week and it was ignored.

@ericstrains.com trains is now known to have one of these Heavy Pacifics with the issue, and hasn't said anything in public about it- maybe that is forthcoming in the full review?

You already posted a topic for the issue here: MTH Heavy Pacific PFA problem when Quilling Whistle (SPW) is enabled 20-3812-1 and 20-3828-1 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum (ogaugerr.com)

Probably best to leave discussion of the issue there, so all the info is in one spot.
