The show down of these k4's let me know if you want me to make a separate review of the mth k4 like the video I want this to do better then my last comparison video:)
Great Comparison, But may want to look into to seeing if the BLI and MTH models have a traction tire wheelset made for them, that you swap out for more pulling power up that 3-4% incline. I know certain BLI Paragon 1(QSI) models came with both types of wheelsets.
Very interesting and informative. I have an HO scale Bachmann K4 that I purchased a little over 10 years ago, and while it runs fune for the most part, I noticed it occasionally runs into issues when entering a #4 turnout (i.e. lead trucks derailing, tender coming off the track). I've only noticed these issues since converting my layout to DCC, and was wondering if you had any tips/suggestions.
At 3:27 in the video you can see 2 stickers on the bottom of the model one is on the tender and one is on the engine you can't see what they say but they both say PS2 passenger so I thought that was the sound in it and my friend said that MTH has only ever made 1 ho scale steam engine with PS2 and it was the k4
Nice comparison video ! I have a K4s from BLI that has Quantum Sound and is about 15 years old. However it has hardly run because I don't have a layout myself. And I am certainly quite happy with it ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FW2su5rdHng.html
