Hello Paul ..........Absolutely.  I have several MTH European engines and passenger cars and freight cars.  I also have many American engines and passenger and freight cars......but the European ones are in my opinion the best looking, and most interesting ones to me that MTH produced.  I love them all, and would definitely be interested in additional European engines and passenger and freight equipment!

Hello again Paul.......I think that the tooling was sold to Lenz??? (Germany)  I am not positive on this, but it would be interesting to find out.  If Lenz, or whomever has the tooling, produces the European models, I am sure they will be 2 rail DC operation.  MTH made engines that would run on AC voltage (which is what I have),  and could be converted to run on DC voltage.  Same scenario with the wheel sets:  High rail or scale, 2 rail or three rail.  Same scenario with couplers....knuckle couplers or link with buffers.  It gets complicated, and I am sure it was expensive to produce.  I doubt that MTH would or could produce this again.  Maybe someone else.  At one time Sunset models produced some European equipment, but in talking with them about a year ago, they had no interest in producing European engines or European rolling stock again.

There are so many interesting trains around the world.  It is a shame we can't get models of more of them......able to run on the AC voltage we have here, and at the somewhat reasonable prices that MTH provided.  My 2 cents!

Thanks AMF!

On another post SZ confirmed your statement about Lenz. SZ stated that Lenz at times can be slow in putting items into production. Like you said would they even produce in 3 rail?

MTH must know where tooling went or didn’t go. It would be nice to have a firm answer to this.

I have none but would love some.

Maybe I am wrong but I think there is an interest out there.

I wish Mth would have made the flying Scotsman. I would buy the American version if they have

Count me in! I would love to see their European line be made again.

Absolutely.  I picked up the E94 from an MTH auction for about half MSRP.  A quick fix to one pantograph and it was like new.  Great looking, and they went all out and recorded the Freight Sounds in German.  I've only been able to find a few old Rivarossi reefers to pull behind it.  I've been obsessively searching for a KBayStsB S3/6 in Blue ever since.

Yes, although I'll add if Lionel could do them with Legacy it'd be all the better. I don't  know if MTH ever made it, but I would save up for the impressive machine called the war locomotive, or:

Kriegslok

An impressive machine, especially with the smoke deflectors added on.

I would love to, but my car is currently eating the next 6 to 8 months of train budget for me.  I am sorry I missed out on some great looking equipment, particularly the Bavarian engines and the Chapelon pacifics.  Any who wouldn't occasionally like to run the orient express?  Realistically though I wouldn't be in the market.

I would love to buy MTH European materials and in my experience they're very hard to find in the secondary market.  To me, that seems like a clear indicator of demand.

I'd be in for the KBayStsB and the Orient Express and the Swiss crocodile.  Maybe even some of the British steam and cars and the Chapelon Pacifics.  They all look beautiful.  And I would be strongly inclined to get the Mallard or Flying Scotsman if MTH were to expand its offerings.  I just love trains, regardless which country they historically/mostly ran in.

At minimum, I wish someone would officially clarify who now owns the tooling, so I'd know whom to bug about doing re-runs or expansions of this line-up!

In short, yes, count me in as having strong interest in an MTH European reincarnation.
