    Prototype Genset? Need help I.D. Engine

    Spotted this odd engine this morning near Cin-Day Rd in West Chester, OH. The engine has no markings other than the number board of 2017. Looked like a mash up of 4 different engines. Any ideas?? Why jump on the bandwagon, when you can ride the Short Bus?

    M.O.W. rolling stock & accessories

    Besides Lionel, has any other manufacturer released any M.O.W. stuff? I want to make a train, but was unsure if most of it will need scratch built.

    MTH Proto 3 engine won't work

    I have a MTH Dash-8 Proto 3 engine that all of the sudden stopped working. It was running well, and all of the sudden started to hesitate and shudder. My DCS commander flashed the engine number, "poor signal". The engine shut down, and now won't restart. Do these get out of sync like the older...

    Correct wiring for multiple MTH switches

    I had a question about my current layout and the switches that I have hooked up. I am running MTH real tracks in a double loop configuration, and I am having issues with the inner switches working properly. The inner switches have power, and light up. My question is, why would they make a...
