This is my new Union Pacific 4-6-0 Freight Starter Set by MTH, from their 2010 catalog. The engine and cars fall under MTH’s Railking Rugged Rails product line. I figure these sets are real steals at under 0. You get a fantastic engine, some well done O-27 cars and a multi-function proto sound controller + constant-voltage power supply. I really wish Lionel would offer a comparably simplified and inexpensive Legacy controller. The set also comes with a loop of MTH’s Realtrax, which I’ll be trading for Fastrack on eBay since that’s what I already have. I bought this set online from T and K Hobby. When I ordered this engine, I was unsure if I’d be keeping it or re-selling it, but now I’m in love! Next up, I’m thinking some kind of Rail King Scale diesel.

As all other locomotives this Alco PA1-PB1-PA1 consist is dcc converted. I used Zimo MX690V again. 11 streamliner complete the train. There is no light in the coaches yet since they have to be replaced by LEDs first. (less power consuming).
