MTH Premier line O gauge A5-class switcher
Is a vry goog machine but the price no.-
Boy! Sounds grreat. Speaking of sounds, does the bell work/ring? I would love to have this “mo-chine”, but at six hundred bucks (what’s a nickel more or less?), it’s too rich for this 4-by-8’er. If I had that kind of money to burn, it would go great for tsunami or Katrina relief/aid! But, back to the subject, from the description, I would say, five stars?..Ye-esss!!!
I like it.does the bell work.I like the sound.
I am old enough to have seen the real thing working in it’s last area of operation, on the Pennsy sidings around Ashtabula, Ohio and Ashtabula Harbor. This is a super model with great detail and operational features, right out of the box. The price is a non-issue. This isn’t necessarily a poor man’s hobby, folks. Great work AND a fair price MTH.

This is a great model of a Pennsy loco that I saw in operation in the Ashtabula, Ohio and Ashtabula Harbor area (it’s last area of operation)as a boy. The operational features and the detail are spot on. Mine ran like an old shoe, right out of the box. The price is for me, a non-issue. I will have a total of three working of them in the yard on my all PRR layout. Quality is seldom cheap. Kudos to MTH. Dave Belknap Palm Springs, California greatgoz@hotmail.com
Great little runner, I’ve had mine for some months now and not a hint of a problem. John
