WTB MTH HO Challenger #3985

To be the flagship of my layout.

Thanks. Jason in Colorado.

No need to get the old version. MTH is coming out with new Challengers later this year. Not sure when, maybe June/July.

I'll be getting one of these also!

I don't believe 3985 will be among those released... whenever that actually happens. I'm after that particular cab number as it has PFA announcements specific to the Cheyenne/Laramie excursions... near and dear to my heart. I actually had one of these in my hands in December, 2011. Bought it off the bay. Turned out to be a sick loco. Would not respond to DCS or DCC. Fortunately, the seller took it back.

bump

With all the talk of MTH going on in the boards, I thought it worth bumping this up. Looks like at least one persn may have scored an MTH loco of late.

Thanks. Happy Railroading.

looks like you may have to settle for a riverrossi one to holddown the flagship position, till ahhhh MTH really comes across & meets a deadline

I have an Athearn 3985 with Tsunami decoder I might be willing to part with.
