I have been looking for the MTH PRR A5 0-4-0 for years because it is more scale size than my K-line version (also Lionel's).  The A5 in this catalog looks like it might be MTH's version, although it is hard to tell.  "All new product" and "wireless drawbar" make it sound like it is not the old K-Line tooling.  Hopefully someone can confirm one way or the other.

ADDED: Saw Beth's comments on the catalog that it is MTH tooling.

CAPPilot,

      I am pretty sure this is the Kline molds version of the A5 not the MTH mold. If you watch the Dave & Ryan Show at the 44-45 minute mark they discuss the 0-6-0 and the A5. They confirm the 0-6-0 are MTH molds but when discussing the A5 Dave says that prior LionChief versions were issued in the past. I too wish they bought the MTH tooling as I believe the Kline version is slightly over sized. I did own two of the Kline versions, still have one.
