I don't generally approach him , just say hi in passing . Most of the time a line is waiting to hit the poor guy up for one reason or another .
This time I did and asked him Thursday about the next catalog. He advised me then New Tooling and The MTH RailKing One-Gauge SD70ACe are going to be made.
Personally I was specific on the UP Spirit SD ACe O gauge engine as a example. He pointed that one out in his MTH display . It's going to be made.
I'll be getting that one for sure.
I'm really looking forward to the next catalog whenever it hits the market.
I'm certainly interested in any info you might say . I'm hunting a bridgwerks product for my test bench and Chucks post came up with perfect timing on the subject.
Way back I discussed information about the USA 10amp power supplies that have the remote. I ended up going with a Bridgewerks transformer.
I do use a USA on the outside layout for AC accessories only because Bridgewerks only provides DC.
I also have a second USA 10 amp in my recently set up test track.
It is a 8' section of track with rollers available if I want to use them. It also has a dedicated TIU and remote for testing MTH One Gauge engines.
When I test other engine brands I unplug the TIU from the circuit and use the remote attached to the USA 10amp transformer for testing basic operations.
My question is, am I doing something wrong with this set up? I have had no issues doing what I have described on the test track. But, I don't want to ruin a TIU if I'm using it incorrectly. I have only tested a half dozen engines or so.
Thanks for your time.

Ray's comment 12/18/18: The USA Trains Power 10 power supply is a Linear power supply (not PWM) so it is safe to use. We cleaned up and removed later replies in this thread to avoid confusion and am posting a reply here to save time and clarify for anyone else reading this later.
The shipment apparently is in country for some of the new (2nd shipment 2017 catalog releases) of the MTH Railking One Gauge Big Boys. Numerous numbers have been advertised but it's the 4014 oil burner that I'm directly speaking of .
I have been watching for them for sometime to hit the smaller market not the large stores.

I noticed that 1000 as well.png ":Thumbs_Up_Hand_Sign_Emoji_large(24x24):")
The things are perfect for the young grand kids . And I love them for TEST subjects. lol.png ":Smiling_Face_Emoji_large(24x24):")
Crash and burn fun toys with the kids. The younger the more crashes and enjoyment they get from them. Lots of giggle time.
MUCH better than letting them fool with my more loved engines..png ":Wink_Emoji_large(24x24):")
That will happen later hopefully.
