This consist takes up 26 feet of my layout! The last car just finsihes going around a curve as the lead A unit enters the previous curve. I would like to thank Just Trains Of Delaware, World Of Trains In New York, and Sommerfeld's South Train Store in Wisconsin for helping me acquire this consist. I would also like to thank Jim,(my MTH service tech) for ironing out my B unit bugs. Enjoy!

  • "B" unit bugs? ??? Curious. You and I Love long Trains :) enjoyed this! *are those car`s a K-Line offering?

  • Thanks for the comment!

    Both B units,(new out of the box) had loose wires behind the 10 pin mounted tether connection which caused the trailing A units slave circuit board to fry twice. Luckily I registered both the ABA set and add on B unit for warranty right away and both were fixed at no cost. In regards to the cars, they are 2 identical MTH 5 car 70' smooth side painted aluminum sets from 1997 and 2 sets of matching sleeper/diner add ons.

  • I am down to 11 cars due to electrical shorts in 2 of the coaches causing interuption of current. One coach is sparking from the wheels. There are no visible bare wires, can there be a short in one of the bulb sockets? If anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem in these type of MTH aluminum cars please post a reply.
