This is a shout out to MTH and Mario's on a recent purchase. I have been almost exclusively an MTH engine buyer and always Premier until last week. I saw a post from Mario's Trains and noticed a Rail King NS switcher that appealed to me (30-20569-1). It was on sale and looked pretty nice on the website so I decided to take a chance. I am impressed with this little switcher: it is scale length, the detailing and sound are outstanding, and the paint is well done. It looks good with my N&W engines (not bothered by mixing time lines a bit). This little guy is going to be my go to engine for my branch line operations. Mario's had this purchase packaged and shipped to me the day I ordered it and I received it the next day (I live about 100 miles from Mario's). All in all, a wonderful experience! Thanks again to MTH and Mario's.
