Reading T1 any show up from MTH

I thought I saw may as their ship date

I'm pretty sure it's in June unless the date has changed.

Thank you guys for the help. I thought I may have missed it.

I recieved the Chessie T1 from Mr Muffins about a week ago. Did you ever get yours? What road name? Would love to hear about it and see pics\videos.

Funny you should ask...while straightening up my stash of stuff as I sell off excess baggage this weekend I found a MTH NOS Reading cab #2124  T-1  20-3130-2 acquired many years ago.  Totally forgot about it.  It was like found gold.  My dad took me on many Reading Rambles.

I had forgotten how massive and beautiful it is.   Just wish my father could be here to enjoy it with me...he never saw this layout.

Here's a couple of pics. I'll get a video together once I upgrade from the dcs explorer as to demonstrate whistle steam.

Im still waiting to see if any came in...

maybe this would help, if I understand the question?

"Chessie Steam Special": #2101, Cars, Consist, Photos (american-rails.com)

and

or do you just mean the "reading" version?

Nice! Play with the whistle steam yet? Is there a separate reservoir on these?

Yes I played with the whistle steam, the instructions do not State anything about a separate reservoir.  Actually the instructions are very vague.

all the MTH with steaming whistles that I've seen, are a complete separate smoke unit.

Here's the big boy unit in action

The engine comes with a generic instruction manual, it says to go to the MTH website and find your product and then download the instruction manual for your specific locomotive, but it's not even on there yet

The big boys are what made me question it. I'm waiting on the 50-1039's to hit before I can access the quilling\steam function. Just wanna get my ducks in a row so I don't burn anything up when the time comes. I appreciate all the sharing and feedback. Keep these t1 pics coming...

I got mine finally, I wanted the blue version however it go lost in the cipher vastness of the electronic world, most likely my fault.  I now have the black 2102 version. I can live with that.  Anyone want to trade my black version for your blue version?

I got three, 2101, 2102 (Black), and RBMN Blue. This is my favorite loco. they have all come in.

After some investigation,   the fill for the whistle steam Is actually through the top of the whistle.  Very hard to fill.  Definitely need a needle point dispenser.  Nothing to pull or remove.

I got the 2100. I figured out how to fill the whistle steam unit by looking back at the manual for the whistle steam equipped N&W J that came out over a year ago. Yes, you do have to refill it through the whistle. Luckily I have a few small funnels that came with a Legacy Mikado that work.

Here is a video of mine -

Also a photo of my model of 2100 with a real stay bolt from the real 2100 currently under restoration by American Steam Railroad at the Midwest Railway Preservation Societies Baltimore & Ohio roundhouse in Cleveland, OH.

I really appreciate the info. I emailed MTH about a week ago but have not heard back yet. Luckily my needle dispenser already has the scent I plan on using.
