MTH engines and "027" switches

OG o gaugerOGR Forum Member

Somehow many years ago I was lead to believe that no MTH engines could navigate "027" switches.  To my surprise I got an Alco S2 with PS 2.0 and it does fine on them.  When I bought it I was not concerned about that as I have some postwar Lionel switchers  that work fine on "027" . The reason this helps me a lot is the engine has electro couplers which I can operate without 6019 sections.  I am wondering what other small MTH diesel engines may do likewise?   I might add another if I get a chance later on. I feel this feature really helps doing yard work. Thanks all.

I’ve got 17 MTH diesel engines and all except two Premier GP9 models navigate my Lionel 0-27 switches without an issue.  

The two I have a problem with have “selected” a single switch each where it appears they are momentarily slowed up before continuing on.  I just keep those two off routes where either engine will encounter its respective problem switch.
