MTH Premier PRR M1b Mountain (4-8-2) O-Gauge Steam Locomotive in True HD 1080p

As long as I had the Pennsy freight train on the tracks, I decided to shoot the last of my big PRR freight hauling steamers. This is a True HD 1080p video of the MTH Premier PRR Mountain (4-8-2) steam locomotive hauling that train. The model came out in 2003 and has held up quite well over the years of heavy use. As you can see in the video, it looks and sounds great and runs very well. The prototype locomotive was one of Pennsy's main freight haulers, with more than 300 Mountains having been built and used in heavy freight service. Please visit my web site -- http://www.toytrains1.com -- for lots more photos and videos of both real and model trains.

@MrTrainfanatic Yes, I keep a database of exactly what locomotives I have, what kind they are (steam, diesel, electric), etc.

@Bassfanatic94 A banshee was a single chime whistle, usually very shrill, hence the name.

That is most certainly an example of a Banshee Whistle. In fact, on the Pennsy it was called a " Banshee Screamer." Enginemen could play it between the low passenger tones up to the high pitched " scream." The single note, high pitched whistle was the standard shifter-freight whistle known as a " Peanut Whistle." Several of the enginemen that I trained under spoke favorably of the Banshee on the M's...and occasionally they showed up on an I-1.

Dang! Nice engine! BTW, do you know exactly how many steam engines you have? Amazing. ;)

another PRR classic beauty! awesome job!!

Cool Loco Dave! I love MTH steamers. I wish I had one like that. What is that faint squeaking noise from? Also, is that really what the banshees sounded like? I never knew M1 had them I thought they had the classic Pennsy 3 chime.
