MTH HO scale Alco PA-1 and PB-1 diesel locomotive

Once again, a comparison of this model with others of similar prototypes – in this case, other HO Alco PA locomotives, including but not limited to the Proto 2000 and Athearn models – would be very helpful. This is one of the best features of at least one German-language model railroading magazine.

Do you have to add a DCC decorder to work on DCC

I agree with Stephen regarding brand comparisons since most are in the same price range.

Pete

The Protosound 3.0 version is DCC ready.

i agree with you, stephen. That would be helpful.

How about an MKT version for the next run?

How about a Nickle Plate scheme

mTH is the only way .Bang for the buck.Greck servies.I have manny, all run and look graet

love it.

White smoke? Give me a break. The old Alco diesel trademark was dense black smoke when all was not perfect with the diesel engine under load. Not sure why MTH felt that a white smoke unit was needed for this model.

Hmmmmmm. White smoke, I guess we have a Pope!
