I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the MTH Premier Line Trainmasters since I saw the production sample on their Facebook page a few months ago.
Did anyone hear anything about their arrival @ York?

I thought they were in the new catalogue as Railking, now they look like Premier.

I believe the Railking Trainmasters in the new catalog are the Postwar Lionel style versions that have been made in the past.
I am referring to the scale versions from the 2011 vol 1 catalog.
The Premier FM Train Master was on display at York. It was the 3-2 version,
and was set up for three rail track with it's swivel pilots and toy sized
couplers. The unit does have twelve wheel drive. The 2-3 unit will feature
fixed pilots with smaller openings and a Kadee mount pad. They will also
have scale wheels with all powered and flanged. This PRR model, while not
perfect, is quite a bit better that all previous FMs, except for the Lionel
model...which is a bit tighter in some areas. I'm getting a pair when they
arrive in Nov./Dec. this year.

Maybe they got "spooked" when they saw Gomez Addams blow up his train bridge with one on it??
Saw it on Boomerang earlier this week and gauked some because it wasn't a steamer. The shot displayed the wrecked loco for nearly 30+ seconds. Looked like the consist was a set of Sante Fe Streamliners.

With 12 wheeled drive and all that detail including the correct lowered headlight on the short end with the trainphone coil will sell me on these units!
twelve wheeled drive is what's keeping my K-lines. but now the playing field is even....
