I am looking to buy some straight - 10" and 30" - Realtrax, but the only place i can find it is ebay. Any other places?

Hi everyone, i'm having problems with my MTH engine. I recently bought it. The problem is, when I set any setting on the locomotive (CVs and etc) it always get back to the original setting when I power off the track. For example, it is on address 1988, if i reset the locomotive (using the...

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...

Hello, I'm looking to purchase this MTH Coors Light Silver Bullet train set. If anyone here is looking to get rid of one or just willing to part with it, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Folks, Here's my latest product review. I hope you enjoy it! :) Thanks, Eric Siegel Eric's Trains

MTH Steam engine, smoke heater comes on, analog or DCS, fan does not. Disassembled engine, power applied to fan connector pigtail and fan works fine. Traced fan wires individually from fan all the way to connector that plugs into cable which then plugs into the tender. I then, while still all...

So I have a few BLI engines, I love them, they all pull like ox, I want to try an MTH engine, whenever I see one at the club they always look and sound lovely, and the smoke look better than on my BLI models, but I have heard absolute horror stories about their customer service. I would really...

Is an MTH proto one electro-coupler compatible with a Lionel TMCC control circuit board: does it have the same electrical requirements as a Lionel or K-Line electro-coupler? Any answers this question will be greatly appreciated!

Hello, everyone!! I have two beautiful MTH engines that I'm looking to get rid of! They're mostly brand new - I'd rate them a C8/C9 as they come in the original boxes, with all original accessories. Here are the details: EDIT: Dash 8 sold!!! Railking SW9 - this engine also comes equipped with...

Here's the 2017 Ready to Run catalog. Some interesting changes http://mthtrains.com/sites/default/files/catalog_files/2017_ortr/index.html Moving to wifi android/ios app control for the RTR sets. I think it's bold move. Not everyone has a smart phone or tablet. If you can control more than one...

I have a lot of the 60 foot MTH passenger cars and Cabooses and as I pull things apart to replace dead bulbs or upgrade to LED I've noticed a very disturbing trend. These things are melting the bulb casings and things around them. Today I opened up one of my cabooses because a bulb had died and...

I have a typical MTH PS2 engine smoke unit that is in need of repair. It's been over a year since I worked on one so I'm in need of some advice and a refresher. The engine has been running on my ceiling layout for about 8 months without the smoke unit turned on so it's been a while since it was...

Some of you may have seen my other thread on lighting passenger cars cheaply. This has been a fun project and I would like to post the final result in all of it's glory so people who don't want to dig through a massive thread can take advantage The #1 goal in all of this is to light my cars as...

To me, MTH makes the best engines and rolling stock for my railroads of choice, the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad and the Aliquippa & Southern Railroad (where my grandfather worked). MTH has many many engines and dozen of pieces of rolling stock for these railroads. My layout uses only MTH's...

I have an older MTH GP-7 diesel that actually smokes very very well. I've been adding fluid as the manual says and I know I've never over filled it. The manual says to add 15-20 drops in either of the openings. I always use the rear one which is more of a straight shot to the smoke unit. I...

I've been looking everywhere for the part number so I can order them and I can't find it. MTH instructions just say to contact them for the replacement. I need to order some parts from Brasseur anyway so thought I would pick some up. These are the cars I need bulbs for...
