I still have my first two MTH Locomotives the first "J" and the first "Hudson" they introduced around 1990 or so and they still run. As far as product support my Hudson took a dive off the layout and bent the cab roof pretty bad several years after I bought and my service center (no longer in business) took down to MTH and they repaired/replaced (not sure which) for no charge. I would challenge you to find the damage today. MTH made a big impact in several areas and still does today. All of my 50+ MTH locomotives were still operating when packed up for the move two years ago and after replacing all of the batteries I bet the will operate again. The only disappoint I have with MTH is my P5 and the Zinc Rot issue. MTH may still make that right TBD.

I got a railking j that has american flyer type smoke unit.Its a great puller that runs very good.The only thing I am very happy with my MTH trains.
