I hope I don't get in trouble with the Forum management with this video. Starting in the very late 1980's I bought some MTH engines. I think Mike Wolf did allot for O gauge trains. He got Lionel to step up and start making more modern and scale trains. Big down side was MTH back then required rechargeable batteries to support the sound systems. Try to run a MTH engine with a dead battery was expensive. I know that from personal experience. I have always been a fan of the Mikado. I had two of the Railking Mikado's. This is a video of my Mike's double headed.
