Monthly RailKing 2019 Volume 1 O Gauge Catalog Product Spotlight

January 30, 2019 - Each month throughout the year, M.T.H. will be spotlighting various items from our RailKing 2019 Volume 1 O Gauge Catalog.  This week's feature will focus on the RailKing EMD SD60 diesel locomotive; the EMD F-3 Diesel and Diesel Passenger Sets in Northern Pacific, Norfolk Southern and Santa Fe roadnames; and select RailKing rolling stock including the 40' Box Car; 4-Bay Cylindrical Hopper; and the Flat Car with Bulkheads and Lumber Loads. Each of these items is currently slated to begin delivering in March 2019.

EMD SD60 Diesel - Introduced in the mid-1980s, the SD60 and its four-axle sister, the GP60, were the first EMD diesels to incorporate computer technology and onboard diagnostics to aid the engineer. Under the hood was a new 16-cylinder model 710 prime mover rated at 3800 horsepower.  continue reading		EMD F-3 ABA Diesel - When the prototype railroads began to dieselize in the 1940s, model train manufacturers soon followed, recognizing that boys wanted models of the newest trains they were seeing on real railroads. One of the initial toy train forays into dieseldom was a Lionel replica of the best-selling diesel of the day.         continue reading

Northern Pacific F-3 Passenger Set - Recognizing that EMD and the railroads were anxious to publicize their modern motive power, General Motors, the Santa Fe Railroad, and the New York Central helped share the cost of dies for the original models in exchange for having their names on engines that appeared on virtually every boy's holiday wish list for years.                   continue reading		Norfolk Southern F-3 Passenger Set - To this day, the F3 diesels of the late 1940s and early 1950s are recognized as some of the best toys ever produced. Virtually full O gauge scale models, they were tremendously dependable, highly detailed for their time, and terrific pullers.           continue reading

Santa Fe F-3 Passenger Set - In the end, it seems the Santa Fe got the best deal, as its red, yellow, and silver "warbonnet" F3s remained a popular fixture on model railroad locomotives longer than any other railroad livery.                   continue reading		40' Steel Box Car - The 40’ steel box car so familiar to model railroaders was a product of the 1930s. Wood box cars, which were built into the World War I era, and early steel cars were largely non-standardized, with details varying from railroad to railroad.           continue reading

4-Bay Cylindrical Hopper - Until the advent of the covered hopper, bulk commodities like grain and cement were packed in sacks and loaded into boxcars. Loading and unloading was a tedious, time-consuming affair.                   continue reading		Flat Car with Bulkheads - Built for loads that comprise a large number of heavy pieces, bulkhead flat cars provide the security of strong end walls to prevent a load from shifting. Common cargos include utility poles, structural steel, pipe, steel plate, and packaged lumber.           continue reading
