In 2004, MTH released another in their series of die-cast models of Pennsylvania RR electric locomotives. This was the L5, a prehistoric-appearing steeplecab locomotive that was the last of their experimental jackshaft electrics. The jackshafts were a breed of locomotive that conbined electric motors with steam locomotive side rods to move the drivers. The prototype was first built in 1924, and was intended for both passenger and freight operations. In this True HD 1080p video, I've coupled the L5 to a short Pennsy freight train. In the final segment, you can see it uncouple from its train and head back to its track in the locomotive ready yard, all under DCS remote control. Please visit my web site -- http://www.toytrains1.com -- for lots more videos and photos of both real and model trains.

  • Nice video, Dave. I forgot MTH had done that one.

  • Used the old Dorfan #. Cool

  • That thing had a whistle? Wow! Very nice engine!

  • The Pennsy version of the classic Swiss Crocodile.

  • Prehistoric-looking is right. Do you buy all these, or are they loaners for making videos of?

  • @JonatanGronoset Agreed!

  • Wow! I realy like that ready yard angle shot. You should do more angles in your videos, showcasing more of the layout.
