Hello everybody! I have yet another video featuring my MTH Premier 1938 20th Century Limited. This is actually the first time I have ever had it out on my own home layout. Before it only ran on the display layout which I built at Stockyard Express.There's a GoPro ride at one point. Suffice it to say I am a big fan of New York Central Steam and I will probably order the new Empire State Express from the latest MTH catalog. Enjoy!

Here is my earlier version using heavyweight cars. MTH heavyweights are considerably heavier than Lionel heavyweights with silhouettes.
Your 20th Century Limited, layout and video are all winners! Thanks for posting!!

I like the old version as well. I ordered one of the new MTH Premier J1e locomotives from the last catalog, specifically the Big Four version with the 6000 number. Last fall at York I ended up getting a great deal at Charles Ro for the Lionel Scale Heavyweight 4-car set for the 20th Century Limited so I plan to break those out once the engine arrives!
The MTH Hudsons struggle to pull 8 heavyweight MTH cars but the Williams Hudsons pull them with ease. As I recall, the Williams Hudson has 4 traction tires compared to 2 on the MTH. Next, I will have to try it with an MTH Niagara.
