Has anyone noticed this very handsome Christmas engine that was recently advertised by MTH? It is item# 20-3979-1. I have an older Blue Mountain & Reading variation (they're also making this one again) and hands-down it is a very nice model with the neat semi-rounded boiler on the underside as compared to competitors hideous U-shaped undersided boiler where the suspension is cast into the super-structure. I unofficially swore off future MTH engines because I don't have a dealer near me, but I think I am going to make an exception on what for me may be the Christmas 2025 Engine of the year.

I bought the last release reading & northern Pacific, was not happy with it.  Noisy drive train compared to any other mth steamer I have. it went back to mth and came back the same,  had @gunrunnerjohn look at it too. Ended up returning it.  I also have the light blue reading & northern 425 without whistle steam.  So I'm leery of a repeat.  I did order Mr muffins blac!k r&n custom run 425.  Praying for no issues.
