April 22, 2020 - Each month throughout the year, M.T.H. will be spotlighting various items from our 2020 O Gauge Volume 1 catalog.  This month's feature will focus on the Premier O Scale N&W J-Class Steam Engine Passenger Set; the EMD GP38-2 Diesel Locomotive; the EMD SD-24 Diesel Locomotive; and select Premier Freight Cars including the O Scale Steel Caboose; PS-2CD High-Sided Hopper; 100 Ton Hopper; and the 34' Composite Hopper.  Each of these items is currently slated to begin delivering in June 2020.

N&W 4-8-4 J Class Steam Passenger Set - A visit to the Norfolk & Western in the early 1950s was like a scene from Jurassic Park: prehistoric beasts romping in their natural mountain habitat. At a time when other roads were letting their remaining steam engines rot away and giving them minimal service in dirty, dingy, soon-to-close facilities, the N&W was still running a first-class steam operation and even building new power.

GP38-2 Diesel - Produced from 1972 to 1986, the GP38-2 helped inaugurate Electro-Motive’s "Dash-2" series of locomotives and became one of EMD’s all-time best sellers. With over 2200 engines sold throughout North America, rare was the railroad that did not roster these reliable, second-generation EMD workhorses.

SD24 Diesel - In 1958, GM's Electro-Motive Division took a great technological stride forward with the introduction of the turbocharged SD24. In turbocharged engines, exhaust gases are used to power a turbine that increases cylinder air pressure, thus effectively increasing horsepower.

Steel Caboose - MTH Premier O Scale freight cars are the perfect complement to any manufacturer’s scale proportioned O Gauge locomotives. Whether you prefer to purchase cars separately or assemble a unit train, MTH Premier Rolling Stock has the cars for you in a variety of car types and paint schemes.

PS-2CD High-Sided Hopper - Although covered hoppers had achieved widespread use by the 1950s, it wasn’t until the following decade that they began to carry North America’s grain harvest. Prior to the mid-1960s, U.S. and Canadian farmers sent their wheat and other grains to market in 40’ boxcars.

100 Ton Hopper - Once relatively unusual, covered hoppers are one of modern railroading’s most common cars, transporting bulk commodities from grain to cement and a variety of powdered and granular products such as raw plastic pellets. The modern cylindrical covered hopper was pioneered by American Car and Foundry in 1961.   
       continue reading
3-Bay Cylindrical Hopper - Virtually every sturdy car is offered in two car numbers which makes it even easier than ever to combine them into a multi-car consist. Many of MTH’s Premier Rolling Stock offerings can also operate on the tightest O Gauge curves giving them even more added versatility to your layout.
