[quote user="Lillen"][quote user="Falls Valley RR"] <p>To be honest, I will look more towards the MTH EM-1 if indeed such a engine is in the works.</p><p>PCM will probably require 2 years and a mound of pre-orders before trying to determine of such a unit will be produced.</p><p>Maybe I will save the dollars and get a brass one off the ship and be done with the plastic EM-1.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>I don't own any MTH engine so I don't know much about them. But as long as they are not plastic I'm planing to get a lot of them. </p><p> </p><p>Magnus</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>You might want to search "Triplex" and read the associated discussion on that engine being produced by MTH. I see this Triplex as the future in MTH and think that the EM-1 would also be produced the same way. One would probably need one of thier controllers to get the most out of those engines. I dont know. I dont want to take it any further than that.</p><p>Because of my thoughts about MTH and DCC compatibility I am leaning towards Brass. If Proto or someone similar wants to produce this EM-1 they are either have to have it in the pipeline or get involved with this model. Several forums have the EM-1 frequently come up as a desired engine. Not just for the B&O but for other roads.</p><p>There are just too many Big Boys saturating the market, how hard is it to make a EM-1 out of existing Bigboy tooling? Im ignorant about this and think it takes a simple cutters and remove the first pilot truck axle or something.</p>
