I just got the MTH email flyer with the announcement of a new O Scale Premier 4-6-4 J-1e Hudson Steam Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0 (Hi-Rail Wheels) from MT. It is offered by JR Trains in Syracuse NY (a very nice shop). The price is attractive at just under $1,400. The best part from point of view is that it is scale steam locomotive that will run at curves tighter than O-48. This is a good change of pace from the O-60 or O-72 beasts. I wish Lionel would offer more scale steam locomotives of this size at O-48 curves.
This one is not for me as I have no interest in the NYC and I am moving away from steam in general.
On a side note, I enjoy getting these email announcements from MTH. The fun in opening them is like getting a new catalog from Lionel, just scaled down a bit. I While I like the big twice a year catalogs from Lionel, I do think it would be fun to see more uncatalogued announcements from them spread throughout the year, especially on their on line store.
