MTH Premier NS 8025, Monongahela Heritage Unit

Stirling,

The Monongahela GEVO is a really nice engine!  Congratulations!

I have this diesel in my fleet as well.  It's awesome.   You will love it!    What other GEVO diesels are in your fleet?

Looking good

waiting for your blog

I have an MTH Premier Canadian Pacific ES44AC (20-20286-1) and I would take that over a Lionel Vision Line ES44AC any day.

Overall, the MTH Premier ES44AC is one of the best models I've seen in O scale. Great details with awesome features.

Here is a HQ picture it. 

Thank you!  Yes I like steamers!

Sorry, I misread your original post.  The Monongahela is the reason I'm hooked on tracking the real heritage units!  I grew up in the 80's and 90's not far from the Monongahela Railroad.   I thought it would be nice to own the heritage diesel so I purchased the MTH version at the Greenberg Train Show back in November.   In January I noticed some railfans posting pictures online of the heritage diesels.  They pointed me to the heritage tracking site.   The very next day I noticed the Monongahela was coming through town so I went out to see it.  It stopped in front of us for about 20 minutes.   I've been hooked ever since!  I purchased the Wabash at TCA.  They are awesome diesels!

You started with a great diesel!

That's awesome!  I haven't seen the Norfolk & Western as well.  I'm not sure I recall it coming through town.   The other diesels I haven't seen have passed through town and I just wasn't able to catch them.  However; I don't recall the N&W or the Virginian coming near my in the past few months.

Video I made today of the Heritage unit running on my layout. 

Stirling,

The Monongahela Heritage engine looks real sharp leading the train.  Runs smooth!  Lots of nice NS and Heritage rolling stock!!

Thanks Mark! 
I thought it was good to run it like that. Although I didn't orginally plan it that way...but hey! It works! 

I actually would like to find the Lionel NS Heritage SD70ACe that matches the tank car in the video. 

Nice looking loco, MTH big diesels are really terrific locos for the money.

The SD70ACe is a really nice model.  I had one painted for CSX.  It is the only modern diesel I have had.  I sold it to a Forum member deciding to stick with steam and a very few first generation diesels.  I am sure I saw the NS heritage SD70ACe on either the Pittsburgh Independent Hi Railers or the Fort Pitt Hi Railers modular layouts in the last couple of years.  Between all those fellows, you can just about see anything hi end!  I always enjoy it; steam or modern diesels.
