I`m very interested in seeing the next New Tooling and Features, for all types of Engines,but especialy Steam Engines, both American and European..I`ve heard the president and owner of MTH say over a year ago that the company had all sorts of European Engines in development, but would not be annoucing them until they were near production..I`ve been waiting for the Smoking Whistle and Swinging Bell Features from MTH since they released a Video of them on OCT 31st 2007..The only Euro Engine I`ve heard rumored is the German Krokodil; has anyone heard of, on the American and European Forums, the likely Euro Engines and Cars MTH will next make ?

Based on Andy's comments last Spring at York where he shared that they don't make any money on the first run with new steam engine tooling; it takes the second run to break even.  Therefore I don't think we will see any new steamer tooling for some time yet.... Maybe European will be different.

 

We saw this play out with the Mohawks - like they had seven or eight different models of that engine over two or three catalogs..... We will be lucky to get some reissues with PS3 in 2013 Volume 2....
