Reply to "Are there any stores in the USA / Canada that have MTH O european trains for sale now ?"

I have a fair amount of European MTH including Hi-Rail steam and electrics, passenger cars and freight cars. Over several years I got all of mine through Engine House Hobbies, Gaithersburg, MD. Ken did not have any in inventory in his store but ordered everything I asked for and got it from MTH.

Note that none of the European product is 1/48th. Some is 1/45th and some is 1/43rd. But it all ran fine on my layout. I am a fan of European heavy electrics and was pleased with the selection and quality of manufacture. I have assembled "unit trains" of high-side gondolas and tank cars. Very impressive!

And the passenger cars are truly beautiful pieces of work and look great behind French steam or Austrian or German crocodiles.

None of the European product is inexpensive (of course, what in this hobby is?), but IMO the price definitely shows up in the product that you hold in your hands or run on your layout. Top drawer all the way!
