    Need help replacing a wick inside the smoke unit. Got an extra wick and new coil off of a user on eBay. Has anyone done this before? Locomotive is a 4-12-2.

    What are your predictions for the 2024 catalogs from manufacturers? What could we expect to see? What would be nice to see? And what might you want to see, if not in 2024, but in the future? I'm familiar with Lionel so I'll speculate there, not entirely sure about MTH. I predict for 2024 we'll...

    I purchased a rail king 30-4073-1 beautiful John Deere O gauge set, new and unopened, from a local collector’s estate sale. He had quite the collection of model trains. I grew up on old Marx O gauge. So I was excited to break the seal on this set and get it running around the Christmas tree...

    The more I think about what I really want, the more I just find myself wanting nothing but the Big Boy. The Lionmaster Lionchief still seems like a good option, but if I spend that much, I might as well go more if I am being honest. So I am thinking about maybe getting the MTH premier Big Boy...

    So, I'm walking home from dropping my car off for new tires when the trouble started - there was a pawn shop just ahead of me. Why did I have to look in the window? In the window was a MTH Railking Amtrak Genesis R-T-R train set with Proto (30-4018-1). I bought the set, it is very clean and...

    Greetings, all! I am currently having a bit of trouble with MTH’s most recent release of the Berkshire that features the smoking whistle.

    Greetings, fellow O-gaugers: A couple of weeks ago I picked up a used MTH 20-2011-1 Conrail C30-7 at a local train show. Upon reading about the potential corruption of the QSI chip with dead batteries, I promptly bought a new 8.4V rechargeable NiMh battery and opened it up. What I found...

    Apologies as I did not find a DCS forum (if there is then, moderator please move thread). Is the DCS hand held the "smarts" and the TIU the "dumb" unit? In other words could I take my handheld and engine to another DCS layout, and assuming all things equal, would my engine run on that layout...

    I have an early MTH RailKing 30-1118-1 Pennsylvania Tornado. The tender has the "Zinc Pest" problem, and has rotted away. I would like to put a new body on the tender, as the loco still runs really well, and I frankly like it. *** It can be a raw "aftermarket kit" as far as I'm concerned - I...

    Just got an old, but little used, MTH set. Laid the track, put the engine and tender on, reset the DCS (as per the manual), and it ran beautifully, sounds and all, both directions, then sudddenly stopped working. I have tried resetting the DCS using the same sequence, I replaced the batteries...

    Need help with my dad’s Proto-sound Dash 8 Diesel engine. He’s been trying to get it to run for a while now and I think we’ve tried just about everything I can think of. A little bit of background. He has several trains and often will leave some of them on the self for months at a time and pull...

    Anyone out there have an HO MTH GP38-2 with proto 3 sound? I'm having a problem turning off some sounds I don't want - in particular cab chatter and brake squeal. I have an NCE Power cab. The documentation states F26 is brake sounds on/off and F27 is cab chatter on/off. I have toggled F26 and...
