RailKing O Gauge ES44 Diesel Locomotives Now In Stock

Check Out It Out In Action In All-New Video

March 6, 2019 - Model the ground-shaking, high horsepower drama of modern railroading with this General Electric Evolution Series (EVO) ES44AC. At the heart of the Evolution Series is a 4400 hp diesel motor designed specifically to comply with new Environmental Protection Agency regulations. GE claims the EVOs are "the most fuel-efficient, most environmentally friendly diesel locomotives in history.

If every freight train in North America were pulled by an Evolution Series Locomotive, the reduction of smog-producing pollutants would be like removing 48 million cars from the road each year."

Our near-scale Imperial Series model of this diesel is a full 17" in length, yet operates comfortably on O-31 curves. Under the hood is the very same Proto-Sound 3.0 sound and control package found in our more expensive Premier model of this locomotive, with sounds recorded from the actual prototype. Additional Imperial features include variable-intensity diesel exhaust smoke, flashing ditch lights, and remote-controlled couplers so you can pick up and drop off a train anywhere on your layout.

Custom Run Uncataloged Premier Line 40' Reefer Car Announced

March 6, 2019 - M.T.H. Electric Trains has announced the production of an exclusive and uncataloged Premier Line 40' Reefer Car in Rheingold Beer livery featuring the Gablinger's logo for the NJ Hi-Railers Model Railroad Club. Available in limited quantities in two different car numbers, the Rheingold Beer car is the fourth in a series of beer cars being offered by the NJ Hi-Railers. The first, second, and third cars, a Rubsam & Hormann Brewing Company, Piel's Beer and a Schaeffer 36' Woodsided Reefer quickly sold out. The Rheingold car, like the cars before it, plays on the theme of metropolitan breweries.

Gablinger’s Beer (owned by Rheingold) developed the first light beer.  They marketed it as "Diet Beer" which spelled its doom.

The formula was originally developed by a biochemist named Joseph Owades, who worked for New York’s Rheingold Brewery in 1967. After the failure of Gablinger’s, Owades asked his boss at Rheingold if he could share the beer recipe with a friend at Chicago-based Meister Brau brewery. Meister Brau relaunched the beer as Meister Brau Lite, targeting diet-conscious consumers. After Meister Brau went bankrupt in 1972, Miller swooped in for the sale of three of Meister Brau’s brands, including Meister Brau Lite. Miller rebranded the beer as Miller Lite.

So, the answer to the question "Did Miller invent Lite Beer" is no!

Owades also helped develop Samuel Adams, New Amsterdam Beer, Pete's Wicked Ale and Foggy Bottom Beer.

These cars will only be available directly from NJ Hi-Railers Model Railroad Club on a first-come, first served basis. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity!
