MTH ELECTRIC TRAINS

The most powerful steam locomotive ever was the Union Pacific Big Boy, right? Well, guess again. While the U.P. Big Boy was the largest steam locomotive ever produced, the most powerful was the four foot shorter Duluth Missabe & Iron Range Yellowstone 2-8-8-4. Utilizing all 140,000 pound of tractive force available, the Yellowstone almost effortlessly pulled huge trains of ore cars bound for the ore docks in Duluth, Minnesota thereby cementing itself as an essential element in supporting the United States' domestic World War II efforts. At last, the most powerful prototype steam locomotive can now become the most powerful locomotive on your O-72 layout. Adorned with all the fine detailing you have come to expect from MTH Premier Line steam locomotives, the Yellowstone will be right at home pulling ore cars up your layout's grades. Inside the die-cast body, you will find a precision flywheel-equipped Pittmanr motor and the exciting Proto-Soundr Digital Sound and Train Control System. Precise detailing and the billowing smoke from the exclusive ProtoSmoker system found in MTH engines will make your Yellowstone a dead ringer for the original prototype.
