New MTH Offering for LIRR Fans!

Does anyone know when this boxcar will arrive in our local hobby store?

BTW, anyone wanting a download of our pre-order pricing can e-mail me at charlienassau@aol.com

Thanks for the alert.

This un-cataloged car was announced months ago by Jason’s - http://jasonstrainshop.com/30-...71.htm?categoryId=-1

Although a nice attempt by both MTH and RMT, unfortunately both cars are incorrect.

W64 was actually a work MOW gondola. Both scheme styles are incorrect as well.

Like most MTH LIRR items, they are compressed Railking issues.

It’s still good to see LIRR items and nice cars to add to a work train.

MTH also is producing an RS-1 in LIRR 1964 World's Fair livery.

Those supply cars sure look nice Walter!

Copy mine in true O scale as a W55 and you will have another batch of sell outs!

I know Art. I supplied the MP3 sound files with action from Jamaica Station and crew scripts for it.

Looking forward to an RS-1 by summer.

It’s still in the (to be finished phase), so I don’t expect one by April.

MTH needed a passenger diesel for the new blue stripe heavyweight set.

MTH didn’t realize RS-1’s weren’t powerful enough to pull a full load of heavyweight passenger cars in real life. Generally you wouldn’t see that configuration.

You could use the RS-3's.

But oh well, we’ll take what we can get I suppose.

This is more like the supply cars that ran on the LIRR with a custom modified number.
