Monthly 2019 Vol. 2 Catalog Premier Spotlight

August 20, 2019 - Each month throughout the year, M.T.H. will be spotlighting various items from our 2019 O Gauge Volume 2 catalogs.  This month's feature will focus on the Premier O Scale SD40-2 Diesel in select roadnames; the Pennsylvania GG-1 Passenger Train in Tuscan and Brunswick Green paint schemes; separate sale GG-1 Electrics; and select Premier Freight Cars including the O Scale Coke Hopper Car; 50' Double-Door Box Car in select roadnames and in a Kansas City Southern Veteran's scheme; Husky Stack Car; and Standard Tank Car.  Each of these items is currently slated to begin delivering in October 2019.

SD40-2 Diesel - Offering better reliability and lower maintenance costs than the higher powered SD-45, EMD’s SD40-2 enjoyed a long production run of 3,100 units. The 3,000 horsepower diesel was the primary motive power for many railroads throughout the 1970’s and 80’s.           continue reading

Pennsylvania Tuscan GG-1 Passenger Train - For more than two decades, the Pennsylvania Railroad experimented with locomotive designs in search of a high-speed, mainline passenger electric. That search ended in 1934 with the GG1, a cooperative effort by the PRR, Baldwin, Westinghouse, and General Electric           continue reading		Pennsylvania Brunswick Green GG-1 Passenger Train - Based largely on neighbor New Haven's successful EP3 juice jack, industrial designer Raymond Loewy cleaned up the original riveted body to create a design that looked contemporary for half a century.           continue reading

GG-1 Electrics - The GG1 fleet hustled passenger traffic of all types along the Pennsy's multi-track raceway from New York to Washington and west to Harrisburg, including the famed Congressional and Broadway Limited. With 18 Pullmans in tow, a GG1 could hit 100 mph.           continue reading		Coke Hopper Car - 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.           continue reading

50' Double Door Box Car - 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.           continue reading		KCS Veteran's Box Cars - These uniquely attired 50' box cars are based on the 2019 Kansas City Southern Veteran's paint scheme the KCS applied to one of their SD70ACe diesels. Each scheme honors a branch of the military.           continue reading

Husky Stack Car - On April 26, 1956, a revolution in shipping began when the first container ship, a converted oil tanker named Ideal X, left Port Newark, NJ headed for Houston. The brainchild of truck-driver-turned-shipping-magnate Malcolm Purcell McLean, containerization was a giant step forward in shipping efficiency, security and cost.           continue reading		Standard Tank Car - Until the 1950s, the typical railroad tank car consisted of a tank strapped to a full underframe, similar to the frames of most other cars, and the maximum capacity was about 12,000 gallons. But in the second half of the century, tank cars underwent a fundamental change as the tank itself took on the dual role of carrying the load and supporting the car.           continue reading
