the item number tell you who made the engine for instance 20 I believe designates premiere or there Cadillac of engines where 30 I believe is Railking, typically the railking is the cheaper or less detailed line of engines. another words more bells and whistles more detailed engines  and many other options only available on the higher priced engines . just remember the more fancy and more options and more realistic the higher the prices?

"33" is the designation MTH has given for their Rugged Rails products.

 

"30" is for their RailKing and RailKing Scale products.

 

"20" is for the Premier products.

 

"10" is for the Tinplate products.

 

"70" is for the One Gauge products.

 

"35" is for the S Gauge products.

 

There are other prefix designations also in use that correspond to various product lines and accessory/promotional items.

Thanks for all the answers.

On the MTH website they do describe all the previous numbers mentioned. But,

under "Railking", MTH states they are described as 30 or 33 with no further

differentiation. I suspected Rugged Rails, but then, there was no mention of RR in any other descriptions. So, actually, I'm still not 100% sure about the 33.

Note: I did see the reference to a "22" series in item numbers. A topic for another day.

 The "22-xxxxx-2" appears to be the new code for single unit, scale-wheeled locomotives.  The designation first showed up in the 2015 v1 catalog.
