  • Anatomy of an M.T.H. Diesel Locomotive

Fan Grills Diesel Locomotive Look closely at any M.T.H. locomotive and you'll find a combination of superb detailing, proto- type accuracy, realistic sound effects, and smooth, dependable operation that is unmatched by any other manufacturer. The Electro-Motive Diesel SD70ACe shown here, for example, features a wealth of separately-added detail parts and tooling that can be customized to produce different, accurate versions for a variety of railroads—by changing the location of vents, headlights, side panels, and other locomotive details. DCC Features .Proto-Sound 3.0-equipped locomotives can be controlled in command mode with any DCC-compliant com- mand control system. While you won't have access to all of the incredible features of Proto-Sound 3.0, you will have full DCC command control. This means you can use your existing DCC controller to independently control your other DCC-equipped locomotives in addition to your Proto-Sound 3.0 locomotives on the same track at the same time. When using a DCC controller, the following Proto-Sound 3.0 steam locomotive features are accessible: Diesel Features* • Headlight • Reverse Signal • Feature Reset • Bell • Grade Crossing Signal • Idle Sequence 1 • Whistle/Horn • Cab Light On/Off • Idle Sequence 2 • Start Up/Shut Down • Extended Start Up • Idle Sequence 3 • Rear Coupler • Extended Shut Down • Ditch Lights Auto/On/Off • Front Coupler • Rev Up • Brakes Auto/Off • Engine Sounds On/Off • Rev Down • Cab Chatter Auto/Off Authentic • Sound Volume • Coupler Slack Sound • Clickety-Clack Auto/Off Paint • Ditch Lights Auto/On/Off • Coupler Close • Coupler Slack Sound Scheme Die-Cast Fuel Tank • Forward Signal • One-Shot Doppler Sight Gauges * Check your DCC Controller's manual to see how many features it can access.

Signor and Golson spent the summer of 1963 riding their Schwinn Wasps around their homes in Southern California watching trains and just "being boys." One long summer evening, they lucked out and caught the "Flip" passing the packing sheds of Olive - lucky because the train usually ran at night. Officially the SDX, she originated at San Bernardino and ran down the old Fourth District to San Diego. An immaculate set of 200's was in charge that evening, and two young men stared in awe as the markers trailed off into the distance along a row of tall, cool eucalyptus trees. Thanks John and Bo, for sharing your memory with us.
