MTH 4-12-2

I'm just a curious guy with a small layout. I would like to know how many of us on the Web Site have a pike that can run a monster like that.?????? Thanks Hopper. Just a yes or no would work fine.

If it runs on 0-72 I can handle it.  Anything bigger NO.  I put in my new layout to accomodate the Lionel Big Boy that runs on 0-72.  And yes it runs fabulos!!!!

Yes it runs on 072, so you can Laz.  But I can not.  Of course I would not buy it anyway as I do not buy UP power.  It would be perfect for Don Baker. Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

Re: MTH 4-12-2

Sure, I'll do it.  Just send it on out.  I will dedicate a special freight express to you! Capture it on DVD for you, take at least 100 photos for email, and name a curve after you.  Just let me know when to expect it.

Anything for a train buddy.

Re: MTH 4-12-2

That is not exactly what I had in mind old buddy, but I will take care of it just as soon as I win the Lottery.  If you don't want to wait that long, just give Jim Sutter a call.
