M.T.H. HO 4-6-6-4 Challenger
Steam Engine
Congratulations! You've just purchased the most
feature-rich and technically advanced HO Steam
locomotive ever produced! This highly detailed model
includes a broader range of features than you’ll find on
any other HO scale steam, including smooth
performance from a three-scale-mile-per-hour crawl to
full throttle; “cruise control” for steady speeds regardless
of curves, switches and grades; built-in decoders for
DCC and the M.T.H. Digital Command System (DCS);
and a full range of prototypical sounds. If you’re looking
for motive power that’s accurately detailed, smooth
running, and a great deal of fun to operate, it doesn’t get
any better than this!
