Hi Everyone,

 

Just thought I'd share the below video of my new MTH Premier NYC Niagra Streamlined Set. 

 

It is absolutely incredible.  I was shocked as to the size and weight of the Niagra Steamer, it's just a beast.  In terms of the proverbial "bang for your buck," I really feel these MTH sets (both passenger and freight) are second to none.

 

Fast forward to about 1:20 in to start the action (unless of course, you'd fancy to hear my introduction):

 

 

Special thanks to the gents at Nassau Hobby for another fantastic purchase!

 

**9/24 Additional Video**

 

 

As requested by a few members, here is the Niagra flexing a little bit of muscle!!  The smoke output is prodigious and I also really like MTH's firebox glow effect (the intensity of the flicker grows as the engine moves faster and faster, really neat effect!)

 

Enjoy!

Michael

i have a std gauge set that sounds just like that. I never thought it sounded like a real whistle, I did not think they put them on their scale sets. 

That is the same whistle in my Premier Dreyfuss from 2000. I happen to like it very much.

 

Great looking set. It's always fun picking up a new toy from Charlie, Chris, and the boys! 

 

One small suggestion; let her rip in the next video! These were thouroughbreds that wanted to run!

The whistle is fantastic, as is the entire sound set included with the locomotive.  

 

Haha, will definitely open the throttle a bit on the next video...agreed, these babies were meant to flex some muscle. 

 

It's always a pleasure to stop in at Nassau Hobby, such a great selection, and obviously Chris, Charlie, and crew are top notch.

I'm sure the Madison set looks fantastic behind this locomotive.  For me, this is my first passenger set, so decided to go with the streamlined version!

Thanks very much!  I hear ya on the FEFs...I'm still torn about whether or not to pre-order the new Lionel one.  I have the original one from a few years back (Greyhound).

Thanks luvtrains!  Couldn't agree with you more!  It is a fantastic set, I'm very happy with the purchase!  The PFA announcements are really cool too, will try and snap another quick video and post it up later today.
