I wonder who will be the first to buy one to run on a 4 by 8 layout.

Me :D.

I was going to put something up here about this, but, ya know, marketing and stuff. :-\

I can't wait to see what M.T.H. will do with it. There's already a video, but it freezes up my computer :P, so, I'd recommend you not watch it :-\.

Their K4 was impressive. Beautiful AND a smoking banshee, but when pulling a train (preferably weighted) uphill on a sicnificant grade, 2 words: Wheel Slip. This only happened once. I had it for about 1 week before taking it to another guy's layout and putting it to the test ;).

But this Triplex looks to be a LOT better! 3 motors, MORE detail, not to mention better pulling power (>duh<). The only real difference from M.T.H.'s locos and, say, Bachmann's locos, are the digital controls.

That's it. Controls. 3-power up/down, 2-whistle, 1-bell, 6-mute, 8-smoke on/off, and a bunch of others. I keep hear things about "DCC problems", I haven't had ANY.

Anyways, I do intend to get a (some) Triplexes. At the moment, my layout is a 4x8, with and 2ft wide river, another 4x4, and an 11ft. yard. For now ;). I'm in the process of planning a bigger layout (about 4-5 times the size now) and upgrading to a 20x22ft. layout. ;D

Try searching in a company that's easier to search through, say, Bachmann UK!!!

Frankly, I don't care a galon of gasoline and a Zippo for whatever goes on with spam, but, to make a point:

Darn it, Henryblue, why must you be so creative!  :D :D :D

LOL, J/K, great job!

Last time I ordered Thomas locos (Gordon and Henry), it was through Norm's Train World...

I may not do that again because when I saw Henry, he was in the Bachmann packageinh, ON HIS SIDE, with one broken little plastic thing. Nothing bad, still ran perfect, and we glued the thing back on. I think I'll use my other dealer this time ;)!

I can garuntee it was the shippers, not Norm's :P.

I'd love to see Diesel 11 and the movie be made. That's your choice. But, if you want people, I'm in! ;)
