After my trip to Strasburg, and riding a steam engine my kids and myself included havenow become interested in a steam engine for the layout. I run now only Diesels. I guess my question is does anybody have this engine? I run 98% Long Island labeled trains I felt this would look good on my layout. I prefer MTH cause I love my DCS. Thanks for your help!

I had 2 of the Railking 2-8-0's on my last layout. They ran and sounded great!
The members of our Kid's club have a few and they are troopers.
I have a few of the MTH Rail King 2-8-0 Consolidations. In my opinion, the Rail King 2-8-0 engines are the best values for the bucks in O-gauge railroading. They are fantastic runners.
The Long Island Rail Road used the H10 Class 2-8-0 as its principal freight engine. However, the Sunrise Special logo only appeared on G5s 4-6-0 No.21.

Looks like a real good engine. Like i have said the only locomotives used on my layout are diesels. My kids loved the experience. There are just so many Steam loco's. The idea this is a "Long Island" road name is an added bonus.
Just ordered it! Thank you everyone.
This engine seems like a tank! Perfect for my 6 year old to run on the layout. Sounds great plenty of smoke! And most importantly it runs good!
