Anyone???
Have they even shipped yet?
Hello Hot Water, according to MTH's website, they have shipped to 3 dealers....so far. My dealer hasn't receive his shipment....yet. I just wanted to know the opinions of others who received this engine. How does this engine responds versus the PS-2 version of this engine.........................rogerw.
I have the roller bearing side rods version of the previous PS-2 issue, and I can't imagine the newer PS-3 version "responding" any differently. The PS-2 version should have the "playable/quill-able" whistle though.
Hot Water, This will be my 1st purchase of this model engine. I don't own another N&W Class A engine to compare the PS-3 engine to. That is the reason why I'm asking these questions....lol
. I can't wait to get this engine on my layout!!................rogerw.
I have all four of them in stock...... I am planning on keeping one and running it on our layout - any suggestions as to which one I should keep?
1218 of course!
Finally received my MTH-Premier N&W Class A steam engine (1218) from the Train Loft. It looks and runs great on my layout! Will post pictures and video soon.........................rogerw.

Here is a video of my MTH-Premier 1218 Class A Steam Engine with 12 N&W passenger cars................rogerw.
Super nice looking locomotive and train. Thanks for the video. Fantastic smoke output per usual for MTH steamers! I have the 1218 and 1242 from prior issues and decided to pass on this round in order to pick up J no. 610 due next month. MTH is offering these for direct sale on its website though at full retail. You can get them for less cost from dealers like Muffin's.
Great video
Beautiful model there Roger. Love that hoote!
Looks very nice.....gonna have to add that to the list.
