  • My train tech did what MTH (with their BS excuses) failed to do in both their O scale and HO scale NYCTA subway models, make the models accurate and prototypical by adding directional lighting to them.
    All it would've taken was an additional decoder in the end (trailing) car. My UK Bachmann sets (London Underground S-Stock, Class 350, VirginSuperVoyager Class 221) all have EOT (end of train) markers as does my Hornby Virgin Pendolino Class 390.
    I'm not the only NYCTA subway modeller frustrated by this nonsense considering the prices for these models, that the very least that they (MTH) could've done and on top of that they damn near make it impossible for YOU to do.

    This is great. Really cool and authentic. My Lionel set is 63 years old. Another thing we have in common but, you are more of an expert at model railroading than I am. Good luck with railroading.

      Hi Ken! Lol, an expert I'm certainly NOT lol. I just love trains since I was six starting like everyone else with Lionel just like you. Since I grew up in NYC, I really love the subway and subways in general, but particularly the NYC subway system. Your Lionel sets are worth $$$$$ I'm willing to bet. Be well and be safe Ken and thanks again.

      IF it's an MTH product, It might be time to consider finding an MTH authorised service shop versus possibly frustrating yourself...

      Go to the MTH website to locate an authorised service shop and hopefully that'll help you. Find a service shop in your state and ship it to them for repair. Good luck!

    I went looking for your email address on the about page (you can find my email on my channel's about page) and I see you work in NYC. I live in NYC. Let me know if you cannot find my email on the about page of my channel. -Heath
