MTH WEB site information <br /> <br />Unlike other HO sound-equipped locomotives currently on the market, M.T.H.'s steam locomotives will include synchronized puffing smoke timed to drive wheel revolutions for an incredibly realistic operating experience. First appearing in M.T.H.'s O Gauge locomotives in 2000, a similar smoke system will be utilized in the HO models. Because of the system's similarity (the primary difference is a smaller smoke fluid reservoir), output productivity in the HO models will be comparable to the O Gauge models. Each HO locomotive will feature a prototypically correct four chuffs/puffs per each drive wheel revolution. <br /> <br />Digital sound features including whistle, bell, chuffing, squeaking brakes, authentic Doppler, passenger station announcements, air let-off, air pump, blow down, pop-off, injector and dozens more are included in each engine - a variety unmatched in HO today. In addition, each engine features 120 speed steps, each in scale one-mile-per-hour increments for a true prototypical operating experience. <br /> <br />The die-cast metal boiler and tender house the electronics and a precision five-pole flywheel-equipped motor. Intricately detailed, the boiler and tender shells feature additional detail elements ensuring an accurate reproduction of the Pennsy's most famous steam locomotive. Additional features include sprung drivers, (2) Kadee® couplers, prototypical Rule 21 lighting, interchangeable RP25 drivers with traction tires for added pulling strength, detailed cab interior, detailed tender undercarriage and even a tender to boiler deck plate. <br /> <br />
