2-8-2 USRA Light Mikado Steam Engine
w/Proto-Sound 3.0

New York Central  No. 6109

Synchronized Puffing Smoke!

Faithfully recreated in all-metal die-cast construction, this locomotive features M.T.H.'s most sophisticated version of its highly acclaimed Proto-Sound digital sound and command control onboard electronics.

The Proto-Sound 3.0 system found in M.T.H.’s HO locomotives includes features not found in other firm's sound systems and include a command control receiver that can operate with M.T.H.’s DCS Digital Command System or any manufacturer’s DCC system.

Unlike other HO sound-equipped locomotives currently on the market, M.T.H.’s steam locomotives include synchronized puffing smoke timed to drive wheel revolutions for an incredibly realistic operating experience.

Each M.T.H. HO steam locomotive features a prototypically correct four chuffs/puffs per each drive wheel revolution.

Digital steam engine sound features including whistle, bell, chuffing, squeaking brakes, authentic Doppler, passenger station announcements, air let-off, air pump, blow down, pop-off, injector and dozens more are included in each engine – a variety unmatched in HO today.

In addition, every engine features 120 speed steps, each in scale one-mile-per-hour increments for a true prototypical operating experience.

M.T.H.'s steam and diesel locomotives are completely compatible with most 16 volt or higher analog DC power supplies.

Under analog operation, the user retains direction control, synchronized puffing smoke and digital chuffing (synchronized to driver revolution and smoke puffing) on steam engines, diesel engine roar and squeaking brakes and speed control on both diesel and steam models.

When operated in command mode using M.T.H.’s DCS Digital Command System (DCS), operators will have access to hundreds of features and sounds, including crossing signals, a user controlled “quillable” steam whistle or diesel horn that simulates an engineer’s differing pressure on the whistle pull cord for seamless whistle or horn pitches.

The steam engine's die-cast metal boiler and tender house the electronics and a precision five-pole flywheel-equipped motor.

Intricately detailed, the boiler and tender shells feature additional detail elements ensuring an accurate reproduction of the L3a, L3b and L3c models as well as the L4a and L4b versions.

Additional features include:

• Sprung drivers
• Two Kadee® compatible couplers
• Prototypical Rule 21 lighting
• Interchangeable RP25 drivers with traction tires for added pulling strength
• Detailed cab interior
• Detailed tender undercarriage
• Tender to boiler deck plate
