Hi again train friends! Come with me on a trip riding the western Maryland scenic railroad#734! Today we take a journey from Cumberland MD, 16 miles to Frostburg MD! This is all done using my MTH premier WMSR consolidation #734. MTH item number 20-3562-1. In this video you'll see scenes from my Pittsburgh and horseshoe curve themed layout. It may fool the eye. The views look as though the train is in rural places. Also don't be surprised when you see some quick shots of the actual #734 that I recently rode for Father's Day with my family. Thanks as always for watching, commenting and liking! It's very much appreciated! Enjoy the video

As a WMSR employee (I'm actually running the table in the video), I'm glad to see that MTH did such a great job on this engine. I'm excited to have mine come in this week! Thanks for riding with us!

The accurate smoke synced with the sound is way, way beyond anything I thought possible "back in the day."

Mark Stockman that's how I felt about 8 years ago when I got back in the hobby. Today's trains are so much more advanced. Thanks!

Awesome video! Really love the WMSRR 734 and mth but if mth would put the actual bell from 734, it would make the locomotive perfect but I still love this model and I hope to see 734 running again!

You got some really good video from the real 734. Steam engines are so cool. I'm sure you had a great time Nick. Always loved the old Consolidation. One of my favorites. MTH did a great job. Beautiful model.

@PghTrainFanatic 9 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much Al! Yep the old consolidation was fantastic in person and equally as an O scale model! It's an impressive engine. I'll be happy to share it with you in the near future when we run some trains my good buddy! You ought to make a trip to Cumberland some time this year and ride it before it's out of service for a while for a full inspection. It's a nice scenic ride. Took me only 2 hours.

@jonnyspeed 9 жыл бұрын

I wish MTH would update their background and chuffing sounds. Too many of their engines sound exactly alike. They did get the whistle spot on though so kudos for that. It's a nice looking engine for sure. Thanks for sharing.

@PghTrainFanatic 9 жыл бұрын

Hu and thanks for the comments. I agree the chuffing is very alike on most mth steamers. And if you think about it with a steam engine that's the sound you'll hear 90% if the time it's running. Blind fold me and I might not know which one it is lol.

@shnimmuc 9 жыл бұрын

Jonathan Hatfield I personally feel MTH chuffing sounds are better than Lionel. Lionel chuffing sounds like it is in a tin can. I have several Legacy steam locos and my complaint is born out in all of them.

Looks like a great engine! I have to ask when they started using the GP30. I don't remember it being there the last time I was there.

@PghTrainFanatic 9 жыл бұрын

Thank you the 734 is a great engine! I'm not sure about the gp30. Honestly that was my first time ever going to the WMSR so I'm not sure when they started using it. I plan to make many trips back there though. It's only 2 hours from me.

@p42Amtrak83 9 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I'm about two hours away as well. I like to take trips down there. It's such a nice railroad. I haven't been down in a few years...last time I was there, I was on Brady's excursion.

@trainlover9943 9 жыл бұрын

Awesome video Nick! Both the MTH Model and the real WM #734 look and sound great! Are you going to weather this model?

@PghTrainFanatic 9 жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot Matt! No I do not plan on weathering this engine. I like weathering some trains but I don't think one like this is a good idea to weatherize. It's more of a collectors piece since the actual #734 is so popular. it's the last year for the 734 since they will have to do a complete inspection of the engine to stay up to par on federal regulations.

Finally got to run my engine. The sound is so much better in person. Love the new quillable whistle feature. The freight yard effects are once again pretty corny (come on MTH, you can do better!) But overall a supurb engine.

@PghTrainFanatic 9 жыл бұрын

Glad to hear you got your engine! Mth makes a great product but the sounds still need improvement and they really need a legacy like quillable whistle with a new handheld remote. The current one is good however not nearly as good or user friendly as a legacy remote. I def lean toward Lionel engines more often than not but when mth makes some special engines like this one that Lionel isn't is when I go for the mth products. Mth make awesome rolling stock is will say that also. Lol

Beautiful engine, however, the valve gear is incorrect. The model has walschaerts valve gear, whilst "Mountain Thunder" has baker valve gear. Big detail flaw. Otherwise, beautiful!
