Chuck, I am mostly interested in the Flat Cars. Especially the Union Pacific. Only because I picked up a 1:34 scale Union Pacific tractor trailer at a show a few years back. However it just doesn't go with a NYC flat car color, it needs to be on a Union Pacific (yellow) car. So, the Union Pacific is a must have & possibly some others. John

I've been waiting a long time for MTH to do another run of Flat cars. Flat Cars https://mthtrains.com/news/837 Reefers https://mthtrains.com/news/834 Raymond are going to be offering pre-orders ?

Why do some people just jump on eBay stuff with out doing a little research. 2 of them sold for $100 more then the dealer is selling them for. Not to mention buying from an unauthorized dealer has no guarantee if DOA.

I was a little disappointed when I noticed it didn’t have those little Christmas sting lights. But it does say it has the charging lights

I saw a MTH Christmas SD70 on eBay and my first thought was it was actually an O scale that was posted incorrectly. But as I looked at it more carefully I was surprised to find that it was in fact an MTH One Gauge engine. it is a special build thru SideTrack hobbies. Plus the best news is they have them in stock right now. they also show a Katy pre-order engine.

SplitJaw just purchased H&R trains stainless steel track. Website is Railclamp.com

Engine is fairly new. Ran last Christmas under tree. It is the PS 3 engine with the Christmas lights.

During my Christmas setup this year on the carpet, my Daylight drivers would no longer articulate to one side, they seem to be stuck on something. There is nothing I see on the bottom of the engine that would prevent this though. Is opening it up the only option? Has anyone had an issue like this before in the past

Chuck. It came out fantastic. How did you exactly do the decals and lettering

I'm Destashing. Do I toss empty LGB boxes or sell?

The can for the speaker enclosure is interesting.. does it have foam or such in the can ? I would think the can would give it a odd rattling sound.

Great News. I don’t anticipate any new cars or engines. Just an occasional rerun of DCS equipped engines and reprints of 1/32 cars. Don’t get me wrong I would love to see new engines along with different types of rolling stock. Just not getting my hopes up.

Nice looking but crazy high price, metal or not.

Bachman list prices are always ridiculous but the street prices are more res

I hope the BigBoy doesn’t suffer the same fate

Chuck, Thank you for the pictures of the switches. Why did they make the switch naming so confusing? So a #6 WYE is basically a #6 switch but it turns left and right instead of Straight and left or right

Nick, Are you referring to a regular #6 ? My question is about a #6 Wye Which from what someone told me is actually (2) #3's

I'm considering getting a AristoCraft #6 Wye Switch. Would it be okay for MTH engines. Like the Hudson, GS-4, BigBoy, Dash-8

I would love to see that American Freedom engine stretching it legs outside. As it’s never had the opportunity with me.

Ok. Thanks. As far as signal strength. I meant from the remote to the TIU.

I have an older DCS remote (original style thumbwheel). Besides the thumbwheel change does the newest remote have another improvements? Like signal strength, faster response time, or such things?

I am looking at controlling my LGB, Piko & AristoCraft switches with MTH's AIU. I would like to learn how to do it with our Christmas layout, so I can apply it to our under construction outdoor layout when the snow melts. Does anyone have any insight doing this or where I can look for info on switching G scale switches with the AIU.

ok Ray I'll go with (1) TIU now

Raymond, I correct my typing mistakes. Thanks. Besides going from rs232 to usb what are the other benefits? Are there any negatives is upgrading ? I still want to continue using our 3 remotes so I don’t see wanting the WTIU. Plus we already have the WIFI module when it first came out. ........John
