Monthly 2016 Premier Volume 2 O Gauge Catalog Product Spotlight

July 20, 2016 - Each month throughout the year, M.T.H. will be spotlighting various items from our 2016 Premier O Gauge Volume 2 catalog. This week's feature will focus on the Premier O Gauge Santa Fe 4-8-4 Northen Steam Locomotive, EMD SD45 Diesel Locomotive and select Premier Freight cars including 40' Box Car, Hot Metal Car w/Flickering Molten Load and Standard Tank Car. Each of these items are currently slated to begin delivering in September 2016.



Santa Fe 4-8-4 Northern - The 4-8-4 Northern was arguably the apex of the American steam passenger locomotive, the ultimate combination of power and speed. No wonder that an inordinate number of the engines most renowned among railfans and modelers are 4-8-4s: think Southern Pacific Daylight, Norfolk and Western J, Union Pacific FEF-3, New York Central Niagara, or C&O Greenbrier, for example. continue reading



EMD SD45 Diesel Locomotive - Like the Pontiac GTO, the SD45 was a mid-60s General Motors muscle car. Stuffed under its brick-like hood was the largest diesel motor made up to that time, a turbo-charged, 20-cylinder, Electro-Motive Division model 645E. The Great Northern took delivery of the first SD45 in May of 1966 and promptly painted the nickname "Hustle Muscle" on its flanks. continue reading		40' Box Car - With see-through roof walks, grab irons, and other separately added parts, this model is a detailed replica of the Pullman-Standard PS-1 boxcar. Pullman had been making freight cars for more than half a century when it hit a home run with the PS-1. Introduced in 1947, it set the standard for postwar American freight cars. continue reading



Hot Metal Car w/Flickering Molten Load-This well-detailed Hot Metal Car features a flickering hot molten load inside the car's barrel that realistically simulates a freshily loaded batch of molten metal from the foundry. The car operates on any O gauge track system powered by any AC or DC transformer. continue reading		Standard Tank Car - The tank car was relatively uncommon until the 1870s, when the nascent petroleum industry ordered large quantities of metal tanks carried on wooden car bodies. By the early 1900s, a standard design had evolved that lasted throughout the steam and early diesel eras: an 8,000-11,000 gallon metal tank perched on a metal flatcar-like underframe. continue reading
