I adquiere this set from Mr. Muffin. I order it Friday night and get it next Wednesday free shipping, couldn't believe. When I tried to log in the engine in my system it read ENGINE ERROR I email Mr Muffin costumer service about 9:00 pm and they reply me with what to tray and offer me the alternative to send the engine back for a replacement if I could not fix it, I did what he suggested, reset the engine from the Z-400 transformer. Here how to do it, tap whistle-horn once, tap bell bottom 5 times, engine is reset, place the engine back to track log it in and there is this beauty running.Once again thank you Mr. Muffin, I am still wondering how you have customer tech support at midnight lol, thanks

Cool. The MTH rocket set is one of the nicer products they make. I think it is a bargain.
My friend has the one that they had the Southern Passenger car but he used stainless steel K-Line Santa Fe Hoppers instead of PFE and the Pipe flat

FYI for folks who have one of the newer sets w/o the passenger car included... MTH offered that as a separate-sale item this time around.
I agree with Lee. It's a unique offering, and the great price is a real bonus.

I believe we still have these on our web site.

Thanks for for the kind words. So glad it worked out.

I agree, Forrest. I ended up buying two sets. One I run with the covers off - just so interesting to see the various parts of the rocket inside. The other I run with the covers on, but empty (how can you tell?). I have assembled the various parts of the rocket and have it on display complete. BIG rocket. Very cool!
This thread inspired me to make a special display shelf for the rocket itself. As I said I had the rocket sections from one of my sets out of the cars and assembled, but I had the rocket standing in an out of the way corner. There really wasn't a great place to show it off. Most of the display areas in my train-room are made to show off long, low things, not tall, narrow things. So . . . took all of ten minutes to make and mount.

Did MTH ever produce a special leading buffer car that has the outline of the rocket booster covers on it? Something like what's in the image below...

In the 2010 V1 catalog which lists the set that was lead by the AC4400, MTH suggests the Missouri Pacific - 50’ High Cube Box Car Set 20-90528 as buffer cars.
-WestinghouseEMDdemoguy - sets are available without an engine! See page 126 MTH 2014 v1 catalog.
We can pull the engine out of a set and just sell you the cars. Call us tomorrow. 317.569.1999.
thanks.
