HI Doug you proably have seen pictures of MTH trains for LIONEL wellthose
big flanges ruin anything I bought a O scale RoyalHudson runnig on LIONEL
TRACK a the model ws beautiful but that 3 rail track no freaking way I had
LIONEL and Marx as a kid Now have had 2 HO Royal Hudsons one was built by
custom Builder Chuck Bard was it a real beauty so I am very fussy . Maybe
you should get after your hobby shop ower to get on the prgram man , Credit
Valley Railway in Steets ville have some of them their HO southern Pacfic
GS 4 ain,t no toy!!!!! I f they built Royal Hudson,s CP modellers would be
selling their souls to get one lol, But Maybe you are a rich millionare and
can afford Division Point stuff or better still Chuck Bard to build you one

Toy Train Attitude? Get a life.
I know nothing about MTH, other than I have heard their name. As far as I
know our local hobby shops don't carry them so to the best of my knowledge I
have never seen their products. Perhaps they are sold under other brand
names.
I am going by the their web page. The models shown there do not look like
scale models, certainly not of the quality I would be prepared to buy. I did
not look at every model they had in their catalogue, but I tried to look at
a few and I saw a toy train look to many of them. I don't buy toy trains.
Just the fact it may sound good is not reason enough for me to buy
something.
Doug
In answer to Dougs toy train attitude. have you actually seen MTH,s ho
product! Seen it run, hey guess what it runs !!! beautiful sound ,what
else
do you want . I saw at Credit Valley a Southern Pacfic GS-4 wow what a
beautifull runing great sounding model Seeing that good looking great
performing model made me jealous of SP modelers now thats why I have sent
e
mails to MTH trains saying how about us here in CANADA eh . look I have
seen lots of estate sales for tenshodo Royal Hudsons in the USA so lots
of
Americans love CPR too Sending an e mail toMTHsaying build it and if its
the quality you have shown so far sure I will buy it .If it falls short
well
sorry I have fixed too many brass clunkers in my day . With a distrutor
that had no extra parts may i get on my soapbox and ask as many of us that
can e mail MTH trains this weekend .Now I was just talking to a true steam
expert a very CNR expert who was asked by true line trains to review th
piolit model for the U2G this guy is so fussy that when you look fussy in
the dictoinary his picture is there lol. He found only four tiny changes
to
be made this from a guy who has taken every brass engineapart and fixed it
up He even repainted the boiler jacket on the division Point 6100 he just
bought !!!! now thats Fussy . His point is True LINE can build 1000 u2g,s
why not 1000 royal hudsons H1c h1d h1e so may I say ladies and gentlemen
sart your computers to create engines Mr Soapbox David HILL
