I have been enamored with the Train Master engine since Lionel cataloged the Virginian TM (albeit the incorrect color scheme) back in the 50's.  So in the early 2000's I picked the K-Line version (seem to be the best representation of an O-gauge TM) of the Pennsy TM.  The same time added the MTH conventional Pennsy H10-44 which I upgraded to DCS.

I believe it was 2010 that MTH announced retooling the Premier line Tran Master.  So in 2011 brought the Pennsy version (seeking the K-Line one).

Then early in 2012 added the MTH Southern version.

Note that MTH correctly tooled the Southern version with the set down lower pilot deck!

Oh Goody! Another Fairbanks Morse thread.  How did I miss this?  First one is my sand-cast Erie-Built, which you have seen before.  Next is my friend Maroon's "Fernando Valley" sand-cast F-M from days of yore.  Finally, and I forget who did the body, is my H16-66, using CLW trucks.  The body is sand cast in one piece; the trucks are lost-wax CLW.
