I have a number of MTH Rail King Amtrak passenger cars-length about 15-16" each-and am looking for a Genesis engine to pull them. I think either a Williams or a MTH RK engine would do-but can't find the length /height of the Williams version. Can anybody help? Thanks a bunch in advance-P Hering

Martind Thanks !! There was a nice review of the engine in the Dec 2015 CTT-but no dimensions. Have a great 4th !! turtle7
The Railking engine will probably look better with the Railking cars. I think the Williams may look a little big next to the cars you have.
The Premier version of the Genesis is scale sized as is the Williams. The RK version is a smaller "semi-scale" size, several inches shorter. The bonus of the MTH Premier version is it has better detailing, and a smoke unit. The MTH has lighted number boards, markers, ditch lights, full cab interior with lighting, etc. I have one of the MTH Premier versions upgraded to TMCC/Railsounds in my stable.
