MTH announces Railking Scale SD9's

Beth, those are some great looking diesels. Thank you for keeping us informed as to what MTH is planning. Your four custom run diesels should sell very well.

Beth,

Will these have blind inner wheel sets like most RailKing six axle diesels?

I expect they will be no different than the past Railking scale SD9's.   Pwersonally id prefer blind center axles, but i think thats what they have to do for then engine to make tight curves....

Beth, for future consideration how about a Chessie or a Portland and Western SD-9 .

MTH is offering in 4 roadnames...PRR, MILW, Rio Grande, NKP.  I will have the up for pre-order shortly.

Ive also asked MTH for special runs in SP black widow, CBQ (everywhere west), C&IM, and MRL.    These might not be made till 2022, but we have the request in...  More new on these as I hear from MTH......Thanks...beth

How about Missouri Pacific ???? Atlas will never get their MP GP done.

Ok.  Was maybe hoping they’d get the newer trucks that were on the premier SD24.  Those originally came with blind wheels on the innermost axles, but the most recent run had them equipped with a six wheel truck I hadn’t seen before with blind wheels on the center axles.  Interestingly they were NOT Proto 3-2 trucks.  I didn’t care for any of the road names that were made though.

Missouri Pacific never owned any SD9's.

Wow !!!! Exactly Correct !!! That’s a real Brain slip. Was thinking GP9s 😖. Even with my Atlas GP comment. Definitely a moment when I needed that second brain. Thanks !!!!!!!  🙂🙏
