HO Big Boy With Smoking Whistle Now In Stock

Check Out It Out In Action In All-New Video

January 15, 2020 - The M.T.H. HO Big Boy with our first-ever steaming quillable whistle in HO scale has arrived and is now shipping to M.T.H. Authorized Retailers. One of many features of the onboard Proto-Sound 3.0 Digital Sound and Command Control package, the whistle feature can be triggered using the DCS Digital Command System or any DCC Controller's F7 Function.

Writer Henry Comstock beautifully described the Big Boy’s place at the apex of steam engine history: "A Union Pacific ‘Big Boy’ was 604 tons and 19,000 cubic feet of steel and coal and water, poised upon 36 wheels spaced no wider apart than those of an automobile. That it could thunder safely over undulating and curved track at speeds in excess of 70 miles an hour was due in large measure to the efforts of two long-forgotten pioneers. As early as 1836, the basic system that held its wheels in equalized contact with the rails was patented by a Philadelphian named Joseph Harrison; and a French technical writer, Anatole Mallet, first thought to couple two driving units heel to toe below one boiler in 1874."

This enduring symbol of American railroading returns to the rails featuring our industry-leading speed control and synchronized puffing smoke output, as well as authentic articulated chuffing sounds with the front and rear engines drifting in and out of sync.

Like all M.T.H. locomotives, our new Big Boy offers HO scale’s finest combination of detail, realism, and performance. Listen to the chuff of the drive wheels as they sync in and out of each other, and throttle down as low as three scale miles per hour so you can admire the details as the Big Boy glides past.
