January 17, 2007 - M.T.H. Electric Trains is pleased to announce that the 2007 Volume 1 O Gauge catalog is one of our best selling books in almost half a decade! With such a wide variety of products to choose from, not all of our 2007 Volume 1 offerings have proven to be as equally as popular. In fact, a few of the new tooled announcements are in danger of not garnering enough early-order interest to justify moving forward with design and production.

Should the following locomotives enter production, each will feature a number of enhancements not included in the catalog descriptions. Most notable among these enhancements is the all new "wireless" drawbar connecting locomotive to tender. No longer will these impressive models be encumbered by the sight of the Proto-Sound 2.0 digital sound board tether.
