I know that there was already a post for this but, I have went to MTH's Facebook page and seen a bigger picture of the cover.

 

MTH 2015 catalog

 

This is awesome! A lot of big steam N&W 611, NKP 765, and UP 4014. I don't know about you guys but I have my preorders already made up for this catalog. The catalog goes online officially on Thursday October 16th, so I hope to hear some more news then.

I am really hoping MTH doesn't have anything in it that I want this time, I am still licking my wounds from the last several MTH catalogs that really got to me big time. Their last one cleaned me out completely. They seem to have my number. I hope it's all steam this time as I only have diesels in one road name. OTOH, Lionel makes very little in that road name, so I'm usually good there. Nothing in their recent catalog except a few accessories I'd like to have.

Well if the production model from MTH matches the photo on the front catalog cover, then the model will actually LOOK just like 4014 does today.

What will be interesting is if MTH takes a leap of faith and does 4014 "As Restored" in advance of UP's completion of the project. I had suggested this for their catalog corresponding with when 4014 hits the rails under its own power. They have all the components necessary to produce it that way.

I compared the MTH BB with the JLC BB  back when the JLC arrived.

Don't know which one is sized correctly, but there are noticeable differences between the two. I ended up selling the MTH model soon after.

The MTH model is the #4014

On the BB comparison post, above (I do not have a BB of any kind), it's interesting in that the lengths are noticeably different - it's also interesting that we live in a model RR era where we can have 2 models of an impressive loco (not my articulated of choice, but still)

that can be purchased and compared so. They are not cheap, but many of us can make it happen. I wouldn't criticize either of them.

 

BB experts: which BB model is the correct length - or, is -either- of them reasonably correct?

The catalogue cover...naw. Same old, same old (again, we're spoiled!).

Let's chant: "new steam tooling...new steam tooling...new steam tooling....correct L&N Berkshire..." (and I'm looking at L and M, for sure).
