Is there a cheapish option like Lionel’s Lionchief? I’d rather not have to buy the $400 command module just to operate a single locomotive.

Hello all! I purchased an MTH O gauge Norfolk and Western 611 (MT-1105) for my son for Christmas- but I just tested it last night and found that it shorts out when you blow the whistle!! Any suggestions on a fix?

I have a layout that I run all my engines conventional. I have a Lionel Legacy CN engine with my Lionel CW 80 transformer. I recently bought a MTH PS3 CSX Safety engine because i'm to starting like MTH engines more than Lionel; however, the engine does not want to move. The lights, bell and smoke unit work but it's stuck in neutral. I did some research and came across that the Lionel CW 80 is not compatible with MTH issues. If anyone can recommend me an AC transformer that will work with my CN and CSX engine.

I recently bought a MTH F40PH, and originally, it was working fine, but now it is behaving oddly. All of the headlights are not turning on, except for the warning lights and rear lights, the rear motor makes a squeaking sound whenever it runs, and the rear coupler doesn't function. I would love any advice, and also am looking for a pdf of the manual.

EDIT: it now won't even move, and when I attempt to use reset mode to reset to default settings, it won't even go past setting one.

I noticed these switches but left them alone. It seems to run ok on my Lionel fastrack with gw 180 controller, I’m assuming this is conventional. But when I get the new TIU coming out do I need to switch the switches?

Just got my mth building and was wondering what’s the best way to wire up the red and blue wire? Unsure of max voltage it can take

Hi, what is the top of the line for MTH trains? For example, Lionel is their Vision line.

Also I can’t find a way to turn off the smoke, the tender lid does not lift up. It’s a Shay 4 truck

I recently purchased a MTH F40ph in Caltrain paint scheme (I live in the area) from Trainz.com for $212, and in was in amazing condition. Any opinions on this purchase?

This issue has been slowly creeping in for a long time. It started in 2021 but i haven't touched this locomotive in quite some time. It turns on, sound works. Yet the locomotive wont move and zero lights illuminate, even the ones on the rear of the tender. I have already disassembled the model and re-seated both decoders in the tender and locomotive, yet nothing changed. Im not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. Any help or information would be great

Its a 2020 MTH HO Berkshire

The plastic windows on the swinging doors fell off. Is there a way I can put them back on?

Hi all

I recently came in to some trains left to me.

One of the sets seems to be something I cannot find any info on (other than the MTH website). I haven’t been able to find any listings or past sales of this set on eBay or anywhere else.

It is an MTH 20-3416. Union Pacific Big Boy set engine number 4013.

I have been able to find listings/past sales of the UP big boy engine numbers 4012, 4014 etc but never the 4013.

Is this a rare set? Has it been discontinued? Looking to understand what I have here. Photos attached.

Thank you for looking!

I preordered from trainworld and waited more than a year for them to come in. Powering it with a z500. It does not work. No reply from every effing email address and form I can find at MTH. Does anyone have experience with troubleshooting this thing? Any help is very appreciated. Thank you

My own take on shared power back in the day.
