Pre-Ordering Ends Soon for MTH 2011 V2 Catalog!

There are less than two weeks left to place your pre-order from the MTH 2011 Volume 2 Catalog. You can always place an order after that date, but we cannot gaurantee delivery of your item because MTH often sells out of its products.

MTH to Delay the Release of Select Locomotives

Trainz.com has just received word that MTH will delay the release of its Premier Line O Scale Genset Diesel Locomotives in both High Rail and Scale Wheeled versions for approximately 6 to 12 weeks as a result of quality assurance inspections that were completed last week.

MTH implemented these insurance inspections a few years ago in order to prevent the release of products that failed to meet the market's strict standards of quality.

Once MTH completes the corrective steps necessary to bring their locomotives up to standard, they will issue a new press-release to notify the market of expected availability.

Happy Railroading!
