MTH Premier AT&SF Texas (2-10-4) O-Gauge Steam Locomotive in True HD 1080p

This is the MTH Premier Santa Fe Texas-type (2-10-4) steam locomotive that came out in 2001. In real life, this locomotive was a heavy freight hauler, so I thought it appropriate to give it a heavy load in this True HD 1080p video. It's pulling a total of FORTY AtlasO reefers which is quite a load, but it does so without protest. The sound is good, the operation is good, and it's a good model of the real thing. Please visit my web site -- http://www.toytrains1.com -- to see lots more videos and photos of both real and model trains.

O-gauge track is 1.25" between the outside rails. In general, O-gauge trains run on O-gauge track regardless of make or model. What you need to watch out for are the oddballs, like trying to run prewar tinplate with its very deep flanges on modern hi-rail track with its low rail height where the flanges will hit the ties.

That whistle is really inaccurate

Powerful engine, but my MTH railking SD70M-2 can pull 40 cars up a 4% grade. I'm sure this engine could handle double this load. You should test its maximum pulling power and make a video of it (:
