So I just got home from work and opened up 1 of my packages. MTH GS-6 just released. Well first the instruction booklet included w/ it says Pensy K4...
Next, there is no couplers or boxes. this is my umtenth MTH steamer and they have all come with the couplers and mounting hardware. Ok MAYBE it was just forgot in the packaging across the pond.
Now some interesting stuff. First I noticed on the bottom of the tender a opening labled DCC/DCS wher it looks like a switch (like BLI's smoke on/off switch) could mount. I find that interesting. An upcoming update to future models hmmm.
The tender to loco connector is completly different. A large piece of plastic 1/2" w x 1/4" l comes out of the loco. It has 2 prongs approx 1/4" long coming off the bottom. The tender has a similar piece coming out of it except w 2 holes for the said prongs. I can see a couple of brass or copper wires just like the old conections. It just looks WAY over sized and kind of weird. I will take pics at club tomorrow and let you guys know how it runs. I also plan on calling MTH and demanding a manual and the mounting hardware for it. I think I can use the stuff from my MTH Mike.
