MTH Gauge One 4-8-8-4 "Big Boys" in action...


...side-by-side with an MTH 4-6-6-4 "Challenger".

Until now, I despised the tinny bleats that pass for sound in models. My first introduction was to a bell mounted in a quad of E units at the club that was left clanging for well over a half hour as it idled in the yard---while its owner ducked out for coffee. I just know that if a rock or brick were handy at the moment, I surely would have answered the primal urge to smash them to pieces.

Mike's Train house seems to have addressed the tinny sound that comes from a lack of proper bass response in the smaller scales...



...however, at $3500 US, I'll enjoy watching someone else's in action...
