MTH - GS-4 - GS-6
M.T.H.’s HO locomotives feature the firm’s most sophisticated
version of its highly acclaimed Proto-Sound sound and command
control onboard electronics. The Proto-Sound 3.0 system found
in M.T.H.’s HO locomotives includes features not found in previous
Proto-Sound systems including battery-free operation and a command
control receiver that can operate with M.T.H.’s DCS Digital
Command System or any manufacturer’s DCC system. Unlike other
HO sound-equipped locomotives currently on the market, M.T.H.’s
steam locomotives include synchronized puffing smoke timed to
drive wheel revolutions for an incredibly realistic operating
experience. First appearing in M.T.H.’s O Gauge locomotives
in 2000, each M.T.H. HO locomotive features a prototypically
correct four chuffs/puffs per each drive wheel revolution. Digital
sound features including whistle, bell, chuffing, squeaking
brakes, authentic Doppler, passenger station announcements,
air let-off, air pump, blow down, pop-off, injector and dozens
more are included in each engine – a variety unmatched in HO
today. In addition, each engine features 120 speed steps, each
in scale one-mile-per-hour increments for a true prototypical
operating experience. The locomotive is completely compatible
with any analog DC power supply. Under analog operation, the
user retains direction control, synchronized puffing smoke,
digital chuffing (synchronized to driver revolution and smoke
puffing), squeaking brakes and speed control. When operated
in command mode using M.T.H.’s DCS Digital Command System (DCS),
operators will have access to hundreds of features and sounds,
including crossing signals, a user controlled “quillable” whistle
that simulates an engineer’s differing pressure on the whistle
pull cord for seamless whistle pitches, and the optional city
horn. The die-cast metal boiler and tender house the electronics
and a precision five-pole flywheel-equipped motor. Intricately
detailed, the boiler and tender shells feature additional detail
elements ensuring an accurate reproduction of perhaps the most
unique looking steam locomotive to ever run the rails. Additional
features include sprung drivers, (2) Kadee® compatible couplers,
prototypical Rule 21 lighting, interchangeable RP25 drivers
with traction tires for added pulling strength, detailed cab
interior, detailed tender undercarriage and even a tender to
boiler deck plate.
