Chuck Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Well MTH and most dealers are out of stock with regards to the UP 9096...they sold out in just a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 All the Challengers from the 2019/ 2020 catalog have been canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Sr. Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 That Clinchfield Challenger cancellation really really makes me have to contain myself. I don't know how all you guys and gals feel. But, I been watching the MTH shipping all along .......I know , don't laugh, and all along they change the dates lala lala and it's latest is this month February delevery. I have a considerable amount of MTH Rail King One Gauge with DCS. Including ordering 3 other engines beside the Clinchfield, and 10 cars from this catalog, To me it's very disappointing that MTH did this last catalog then FAILED to deliver so many items to customers. I certainly don't blame Mike for retiring, for whatever reasons, however this catalog should never have been introduced in the manner it was. Larry PS My opinion only!!

Yardtrain Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I hope the BigBoy doesn’t suffer the same fate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Yeah I guess that the preorder numbers were too low for the Challengers....seems the Big Boys sell very well! I see Trainworld pulled the listing for both Big Boys which means they've sold their allotment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Sr. Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I think your correct on the Challengers Chuck. I do think the new SD70 line was sought after considerably from all the talk I have heard anyway. I'm thankful I received my GB 41 and the UP 9096. I still have my fingers crossed for the Military one due March . And good luck with your Big Boy Yard Train. It's a very nice engine. In reference to the SD line for me anyway I was very surprised of the cancellation of both the funeral train flag cars. That kinda derailed the whole train I was attempting to make.

Chuck Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Larry, I was a bit surprised about the baggage car cancelation as well. Infact that move is what help push me back into 1:29 scale. USA Trains has most all the passenger car designs while MTH just makes coaches and an observation car. Even Accucraft makes a assortment of cars and demand must be great as they keep making more production runs. And just know the PA's will be canceled next. Last time MTH made them they blew them out at a deep discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAZGRR7315 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Baggage car was on my 'to get' list as well... does anyone know what exactly is up with the MTH line, new owners?? What can we expect for longterm support for Parts & Service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I received another MTH One-Gauge SD70ACE a few days ago from my favorite dealer Ray's Electric Trainworks! This is the Caterpillar owned Progress Rail EMD Demonstrator version. Here's the real one on display during the Mining Expo 2012 inside a Las Vegas Convention Center.

For example I have 4 new MTH One-Gauge tank cars on pre-order at Trainworld for delivery later this year 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwy Nick Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 That is a monster, I believe they refer to something that big as a 'track straightener' or something along that line. Sorry don't know much about diesels but like to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Glen Junction Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I see on a Facebook MTH One Gauge group I'm in that the new 4014 Big Boys have started shipping (this was item 70-3049-1). Pics and an unboxing video were uploaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
