LIKE THE UNITED STATES, much of Canada is flat and empty with a humongous mountain range over on the left side.

O gauge 4-12-2 by MTH
All right, already. The Union Pacific was the Big Cheese of big steam. Sure, the Pennsy might have had a zillion K4s and their 4-4-4-4s did turn heads, but it was the UP that had the most amazing giant freight haulers.

MTH Premier line O gauge USRA 0-6-0 steam switcher
THE SUBJECT OF our attention today is a little steamer that helped us beat the Kaiser and soldiered on through the end of the steam era, providing commendable service to the railroads that operated it: the USRA 0-6-0 steam switcher. America entered World War I in April 1917. In December of that year the U.S. […]
MTH RailKing O gauge 2-8-0 starter set
EVEN CONSIDERING THE fact that most kids (and adults) have never gotten closer to a steam locomotive than, say, an episode of Petticoat Junction, a steam-powered starter set is tough to beat. The visual elements of moving side rods and puffing smoke, combined with the gift-giving mood around the holidays, make a steam-engine starter set […]
