New MTH Catalog?

Justin: Watch it on Rt. 15. The cops have plenty of hiding spots and THEY WILL get you. Drove 15 anywhere from 2-8 times per week for a year. I can do it with my eyes closed and a heavy foot since I know where the hiding spots are! Don't ask how I found out! 

 

OK Guys,have the catalog in front of me.

RK imperial ATSF 4-8-4 in ATSF,NP,Reading,Milwaukee

RK Hudson in LV,NH,NYC and RF&P

RK 4-6-0's 

RK Big Boy sets

RK Imperial S2

Geep 9's in NH,Milw,Iowa Interstate,Indiana Rwy

RS3's in Ohio Cent,GN,N&W,DRGW,CP Rail

PA's and PB's in PRR (Green),ATSF,NYC and American Freedom

What actually caught my eye was the new Williams GP-30,Really nice looking and scale handrails and near premier level detail. NYC,ACL,UP and GN. Not my cup of tea (I'm a big steam guy)but very nice.

Engine House Hobbies is on one end of Diamond Ave. Western Auto used to be at the corner of Diamond and Summit. Bought my first new bicycle there a Western Flyer in 1970 from money I made carrying the Washington Star on a hand me down bike from my brother.

So, Ricky, of those NS Heritage units, what versions do they have listed?  Hi-rail, 2 rail with scale pilots and a non-powered unit?  Just curious.

 

Larry

 

Ricky ...  Premiere ??

  Yes sir!!!

 

Larry

I'm missing all the rich offerings MTH used to have.  To me the catalog is getting thinner.  A few too many art mistakes also have me wondering.

Thank you.

So No Southern Pacific SD45 MTH ??? Wow, SP had the largest fleet of SD45's. Can someone bring this up to Mike.

Any Intermodal rolling stock? spine cars?

 

Regards,

Swafford

According to the http://www.altoonaworks.info/heritage.html the NS(Old) will be an ES44AC not an SD70ACe.  This was probably decided when the PC unit was added to the original 18.

Never thought i see the day when a lionel catalog was better than a mth catalog.good to hear williams stepping it up with sounds and better detail-hope they include a cab interior w/figures.

ROLLING STOCK...PLEASE!!!!

Here we go-

A GE Hybrid/coach combination with special lighting effects.

Brown and Green SBB Krocodil's 

Taurus ES 64 electrics in various RR's. Why no DB Cargo??

If that P&LE GP7 is in passenger dress and correct road numbers, this catalog becomes a winner!!!!

"According to the http://www.altoonaworks.info/heritage.html the NS(Old) will be an ES44AC not an SD70ACe.  This was probably decided when the PC unit was added to the original 18."

It's shown as an SD70ace in Railking AND Premier.

Only Milwaukee road freight car is a 50' Boxcar and a steel caboose-both Premier.

John P. Try Train Depot on Willard rd in chantilly Or leesburg hobbies in downtown leesburg. Leesburg hobbies is a retail price shop, but they have lots of stuff

Man are you WRONG about that.

 

I have a list of The P-S-1 50' box cars in an issue of RailModel Journal and there are railroads and graphic schemes that Atlas O still has yet to produce, and it looks like with the delays in production for Atlas O, they will never make those railroads. That leaves only MTH to put those roads on their version. It will also cost less than the Atlas O version.

Also The PS-1 50' Box Cars had several door variations.

When they offer the PS-1 50' Box Cars in Illiois Central, ICG, Grand Trunk Western Original scheme, GTW blue repaint, Soo Line 1961, CNW 1980's Safety Yellow, Burlinton Northern, plus various CN schemes, then I will finally get some PS-1 50' Box Cars.

Proto-3 GenSet in PHL. I'm in! Looking at 50-foot PS1's in CNW. Interested in seeing the rolling stock offerings.

MU EAGLE (Dave),

 

There was a Premier Montana Rail Link Thrall Car scheme on the ACF CenterFlow 3-bay covered hopper offered in 2002.

 

Covered Hoppers MTH has not made in Montana Rail Link for the Premier line are

the MRL light gray Thrall Car scheme on the ACF CenterFlow 2-Bay Covered Hopper

MRL PS-2 2-Bay Covered Hopper

MRL Gray PS-2-CD 4427 High-Sided 3-Bay Covered Hopper

MRL Blue PS-2-CD 4427 High-Sided 3-Bay Covered Hopper

The fomer BN ACF Center Flow 3-Bay Covered Hoppers repainted for Montana Rail Link with the paint coming off showing the Cascade Green scheme underneath.

Any pictures of the MTH Norfolk Southern Heritage ES44AC's?

Boomer,

 

Are the AT&SF F7's passenger? and do they come in 3/2 with scale wheels and fixed pilots?

 

Joe 

 

CN only had one Train Master, dressed in their green and gold livery; and, over the years, that locomotive  wore two different road numbers; originally, it started out as 3000 and later on... it became 2900.

 

Is this what is being offered, in the Premier line?

 

 

Rick

PREMIER ATSF AND NYC F7 ABA-I'M IN TROUBLE-JUST WHEN I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS HOBBY THEY SUCK ME BACK IN-DELIVERY DATES ANYONE.

All Premier now comes 3/2 hirail wheels or scale wheels/fixed pilots and PS3.The ATSF's are in the Red/Silver Warbonnets! 

 

I'm in trouble.  Fixed pilot Santa Fe F7's...  

Thanks Boilermaker, I may run out their tomorrow. Again thank you to all you guys.

 

Matt, I think a few of the AGHR guys may want that one, I have the CSX version, a very nice engine, I will most likely get the PHB for nostalgia sake, seen them birds a lot down at the harbor.

Nice Godfather reference.

RS-3...ooh even better.  I'll definitely get one.  Depending on which color scheme, I might be interested in the Indiana GP9 as well.  Looking forward to seeing the rolling stock list.

Finding one or two items makes it a good catalog, in my book.

 

Thanks again for the information.

Question answered, thanks!

Lafondue,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.   I'd like to download it but somehow it is telling me that the page isn't available despite being able to scroll through and look at the content.

I'm hoping that my message to MTH via the MTH Facebook pages produces a remedy for this problem.

Ed

SD40-2 in FEC!!! my prayers have been answered!!! This was the only modern engine rostered by the FEC that had not been done by either of the major companies. If MTH does the paint scheme correctly, it will be easy as the prototypes were purchased from UP and all that was done was to remove the UP logos and road numbers and then apply FEC markings.

      of course, I won't have it in hand until 2015 or'16.(if MTH keeps to their usual schedule) I've got the SD70M-2, and the GP40-2/3, all I needed was the SD40-2. Now I can have a prototypical consist!

What Premier freight cars are shown in the new catalog?

Very poor job of "spilling the beans" this time.  WHATS IN THE CATALOG!

My LHS didn't have his copy yet!

Dan

I'd also like to ask this as well.

 

Brian

The Milwaukee Road F7's interest me. I can't wait to compare them to the new ones listed in Lionel's latest catalog.

Any pictures of the NS Heritage engines?

Surprised that the $429.95 question hasnt been asked yet... did they hold the line on prices?

For those who seen the catalog. What's the paint scheme on the NYC F-7.  Lightning stripes or Cigar band?
