Monthly RailKing 2018 Volume 1 O Gauge Catalog Product Spotlight

May 30, 2018 - Each month throughout the year, M.T.H. will be spotlighting various items from our RailKing 2018 Volume 1 O Gauge Catalog.  This week's feature will focus on select RailKing SD70ACe Imperial Diesel locomotives, 6000 Series Chicago L Cars, and select RailKing freight cars including the 33K Gallon Tank Car, Flat Car w/40' Trailer, and O Gauge Slag Car. Each of these items is currently slated to begin delivering in July 2018.

SD70ACe Imperial Diesel - The SD70ACe is Electro-Motive Diesel's hope for the future. While designed to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's Tier-2 emissions requirements that took effect on January 1, 2005, this replacement for the SD70MAC also seems to have a higher purpose: to recapture the lead in North American locomotive sales that EMD lost to General Electric in 1987.                  continue reading

6000-Series 4-Car L Set - In the mid-1940s, Chicago’s public transit system was in a dismal state, with much of its equipment dating back to the turn of the century. In April 1945, the Chicago Transit Authority was created as a government agency to take over and run all the privately owned elevated ("L") and streetcar operations.  continue reading 33K Gallon Tank - The prototype for this car was one of the largest tank cars in regular service, a pressurized 33,000 gallon car used for transporting liquefied petroleum gas, a byproduct of oil refining used for home and industrial heating.                     continue reading

Flat Car w/40’ Trailer - The trailer-on-flat-car, or TOFC, concept actually predates the trucking industry. From 1885-1893, Long Island farmers could ship their loaded wagons to Manhattan markets on Long Island Rail Road flatcars. Teamsters rode in their own coach on the farmers’ specials, while their horses traveled in stable cars.  continue reading O Gauge Slag Car - High quality, traditionally sized RailKing Freight Cars provide detailed bodies and colorful paint schemes for the O Gauge railroader. MTH makes an enormous variety of RailKing Freight Cars, including many different car types and roadnames.              continue reading
