He also mentioned that the 2-8-0 had to have the drive train reworked and 'should' be cataloged next year. I'm not sure I believe that as this catalog clearly says 2019-2020. We shall see.


   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Wow, I wonder what has to be reworked.  The motor takes up 1/3 of the boiler space:

I spoke with Will Holt of the NASG at the Indy show and he said MTH is supposedly aware of this problem and would have it fixed soon.

Broke down and called MTH. Regina suggested I email my list to her. So I did. Maybe I'm nuts to think they'll make everything I've put on order, but we'll see...

Why stop there Jonathan?  Just ask for one of everything in the catalogue.😊

A simpler to disassemble, maintain, repair, and/or upgrade 2-8-0 would be good thing.  I converted one to TMCC, sound, and synched puff & chuff, and wished it had been easier to do -- 12 years ago.

In fact, its the only TMCC/Legacy engine that I kept out of the many conversions and factory such engines once in my collection.  I just didn't have the heart to sell it knowing that I won't ever attempt that again.  Besides it remains a lot of fun to run and Don T did such a good job on them.  Terrific attention to detail.  Closest thing in my opinion in S to truly a model engine that runs - and beautifully at that.
