Uncataloged O Gauge Rail King Burlington Northern MP15 Diesel Locomotive Announced
May 20, 2022 - M.T.H. Electric Trains has announced an exclusive Uncataloged RailKing O Gauge MP15 Diesel Locomotives in distinctive Burlington Northern livery for M.T.H. Authorized Retailer Berwyn's Toys & Trains of Berwyn, Illinois. The locomotive will be available in two very limited cab numbers on a first-come, first-served basis beginning in September 2022. Item No. 30-20970-1 Burlington Northern MP15DC Diesel Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0 Item No. 30-20971-1 Burlington Northern MP15DC Diesel Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0 ABOUT THE MP15 DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE The MP15 came in two flavors, traditional and modern. The MP15DC used traditional electrical gear and shared the front-mounted radiator and air intakes that had characterized all previous EMD end-cab switchers. It was basically a beefed-up SW1500. The MP15AC, however, incorporated EMD's Dash 2 technology, with solid-state transistors and circuit boards replacing the wiring, switches, and relays found in earlier diesels. Its cooling system was borrowed from the "Tunnel Motors" EMD had created for the Southern Pacific. The front of the hood was plain, like the rear of a Tunnel Motor, and the radiator air intakes were moved to the sides of the hood, low and at the front of the engine. Not surprisingly, the Southern Pacific was the first customer to order an MP15AC. Because the Dash 2 technology was relatively new and some railroads found it unnecessarily expensive for a lowly switcher, EMD continued to make both the DC and AC versions of the MP15 for most of its production run, and sales for the two models were about equal.
