Monthly 2018 Vol. 1 Catalog Premier Spotlight

January 24, 2018 - Each month throughout the year, M.T.H. will be spotlighting various items from our 2018 O Gauge Volume 1 catalog.  This month's feature will focus on the Premier O Scale Dash 8-40BW Diesel Engine and matching Passenger Sets, AEM-7 Electric Locomotive and matching Passenger Sets, and select Premier Freight Cars including the O Scale 40' Box Car, Flat Car w/40' Trailer, and 33K Gallon Tank Car.  Each of these items is currently slated to begin delivering in March 2018.

Dash 8-40BW Diesel Engine Passenger Set - In the mid-1980s, as computers found their way into homes across America, they made their way into locomotives as well. In 1982, a year after IBM debuted its Personal Computer, General Electric fielded its first computerized diesel, test unit No. 606.                                                                    continue reading		Dash 8-40BW Diesel Engine - With microprocessors controlling its engine and other systems, including a MicroSentry Adhesion System for wheelslip control, No. 606 and its counterparts at EMD ushered in the third generation of diesel power. By the end of the decade, the typical American road diesel would be profoundly different.                                           continue reading

Amtrak AEM-7 Electric Passenger Sets - With the demise of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 and the near-death of American passenger trains around the same time, the market for electric engines dried up. Designing new electric locomotives became a lost art in the United States.       continue reading		40’ Box Car - With see-through roof walks, grab irons, and other separately added parts, this model is a detailed replica of the Pullman-Standard PS-1 boxcar. Pullman had been making freight cars for more than half a century when it hit a home run with the PS-1.                                                           continue reading

Flat Car w/ 40’ Trailer - The trailer-on-flat-car, or TOFC, concept actually predates the trucking industry. For a brief period in the 1800s, Long Island farmers could ship their loaded wagons to market on a local railroad.          continue reading		33K Gallon Tank Car - The tank car was relatively uncommon until the 1870s, when the nascent petroleum industry ordered large quantities of metal tanks carried on wooden car bodies.                                                            continue reading
