Hi Eric, Very nice collection! Best match for the Rheingold Cars is a german Locomotive Class 18 from MTH

@erictrainman Жыл бұрын

Interesting! I actually have one of those at the moment

@frankmarkovcijr5459 Жыл бұрын

The sound effect for the French engine is incorrect because the French locomotive is a compound with using steam twice and is very quiet. French steam locomotives were very complicated to maintain which is one of the reasons why they were replaced with electric trains. In the opening credits on the original fugitive series the train passenger cars say chaemin deer f i r which means Railroad in French my phone could not translated properly excuse the spelling.

Those European models that MTH did were quite impressive. I have the Western Maryland Challenger #1203. It's the largest steam I have on the layout followed by the Pennsylvania Q-2. Thanks for sharing your haul!

Another great film Eric. I've always loved the European trains with their unique designs and color schemes. Unfortunately I missed the opportunity to purchase some when they were released. I had more local railroad interests in mind at the time. Thanks for sharing and "keep'em rolling ! 👍

I have both 1203 and 1208 in mth m2’s. They run great. I also have the replacement shells for the 1-3-2 French locomotive. They are the black version. Have both the locomotive and tender shells. Both shells are wired and ready to be mounted.

With their popularity here in the US, MTH should continue making these. Heard the tooling was sold to some European company, but maybe MTH can license them PS3 (like Atlas) so they can be sold just as they once were here in the US.

@erictrainman Жыл бұрын

I actually learned that Mth still has some of the tooling. They’re looking into the possibility of running another European engine

MTH went all in with the detail on their European models. It was necessary to compete in that market. They also made a lot of it in 2 rail, since that’s what most people there use. It’s too bad this project wasn’t really a success.

@erictrainman Жыл бұрын

Agreed. I’m not sure how successful they were with European customers. But they’re certainly sought after in the US 3 rail market

@GlennFresch Жыл бұрын

@@erictrainman European O scale is mostly 2 rail fine scale. Read this as super expensive and super detailed. MTH products were cheap by comparison, which should have given them a huge advantage. However, While I don’t have any specific numbers, it’s obvious either the MTH products didn’t perform well there, MTH lost interest, or maybe the market was just too small. Even the European manufacturers that I do follow because of my interest in Swiss g gauge don’t seem to do much O scale anymore, so it is indeed a tough market. I do know from following European forums that people were not impressed with the MTH motor and drive train quality and performance. In fact, some companies actually offered replacement motors and gears for the MTH engines. I would agree that the performance of MTH China drive and DCS speed control is often poor compared to European motors with ESU speed control. We just don’t know any better over here. As a result, I suspect the MTH products were viewed as cheap in a negative sense over there. I’m not trying to knock MTH here since I think their goal was to offer affordable and good looking o gauge in Europe, which is a noble goal, but they may not have fully understood the market.
