Any body have the mth locosound locomotives?

I also have a MTH Locosound NW2 Railking but mine does not have a smoke unit. The sound is ok but I have a small layout and could never manage near that many cars.

When I ran long trains like that.I was living in a mobel home.So I could due that.But I have moved to a house.I can run trains about 25 cars now.

The big downfall of the LocoSound locomotives is indeed the sound.

I have the Rail King Ski Train 4-6-2 with Loco Sound, but I have not run it for many years.

I have the older "General" loco sound locomotive.  Unfortunately the circuit board in the tender got bumped around during shipping and shorted out to the frame the first time I put power to it, so I've never actually heard the sounds.  It received a bridge rectifier and has been one of my most reliable public display locomotives since then which is all I wanted out of it anyway.

I only have a Aerotrain and a PCC Trolley with Loco Sound, I had a couple of RK Steamers but tossed them into De Bay when I went 3 rail scale a few years ago. Like John stated the sound left much to be desired.

I had a RailKing GS2 (the large one) with Locosound. It ran well and never gave me any trouble but sounded awful. I sold it and replaced it with a Premier GS4 with PS2 3V. The RailKing GS2 was the last non-scale piece I owned. 

I had a LocoSound AeroTrain and PRR Turbine. Both ran great. The turbine had a chuffing sound file that was just goofy,

Well thats true they do not have the best sound.But they can pull a fair size train.

I agree that the turbine was a pulling beast and a great smoker to boot.

My 1st 2 engines were Locosounds, a 2-8-0 and a RS3.  The RS3 diesel sound was good, the 2-8-0 sound like a box-o-rocks.  I converted both to PS2 then to BPRC.  I actually have two RK 2-8-0, the oldest one (the Locosound engine) is a fine, slow puller, the newer one takes a bit more throttle to get moving but I feel it'll end up like the 1st once it wears in/out.

All the heavy diecast engines I have are great pullers, even the RK Imperial USRA 0-6-0.

Another fine puller is my Lionel 4-8-2 and has excellent slow speed under BPRC.

About the only engine I have that isn't heavy is the Weaver RS3, but I never pull more than a few cars with it, I've never tested it to see how many it can pull.
