G scale diesel comparison MTH, USA Trains, Aristo

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Nothing pulls like the Aristo-Craft Dash-9, I put three of mine together and they are non stoppable!

[@gerard143]

Thanks for posting this! Good stuff

[@eshollen]

Thank you. I have 2 f40ph amtrak locomotives (great trains 1980's models). They look funny with my aristocraft passenger cars, and nobody makes superliners. So mth is also 1:32 and its nice to see the comparison side by side. I'll be looking for mth passenger cars from here forward

[@bdelmo]

MTH Railking Gauge #1 Dash 8 is 1/32 scale for modeling standard gauge train prototypes. Thus, it is approximately 10% smaller than the 1/29 scale for both USA Trains and Aristo-craft. You mentioned problems with the MTH sound that may be caused by you using Aristo-Craft pulse width modulation (pwm) for power. MTH states in its trains instructions to not use pwm.

Hey it's DanH from MLS great video and it helps the new guy like myself to which engine I would want to start out with

[@bradandrew6880]

Where do u buy your Locomotives

[@305KSL]

How would I operate that mth engine separately on piko 35310 TRACK AND POWER SET (G-SCALE).

[@jbhuse]

you would only have forward and reverse. The Piko system is not DCS so it would not control any sound functions or smoke.

[@MrMonkeyma]

such a cute kitten

[@MegaKatiebugs]

Bruh wtf?

[@jbhuse]

Thank you for that but my problems occurred using ac power and using dc bridgewerks directly connected with no dial connected at all i only used the pwm for this video so i didnt have to deal with the connection problems. I also updates the firmware on the remote and tiu and re flashed the dash 8 sound. the problem i was having was when i would shut everything off and go to use it a day later i would have to re sync all my engines i have 6 mth trains so any info u have would help. thank you

[@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife]

How many volts / amps are running through G gauge track?

[@jbhuse]

these are 24v 15 amp

[@franklinmatherly4315]

Will the MTH trains run on aristocraft track also? And if so what models railking? Thanks

[@jbhuse]

The G scale line of MTH will run on Aristocraft track or any g scale track like LGB, Piko, and USA Trains.

[@franklinmatherly4315]

@@jbhuse thank you

[@jasonsmith6408]

Ditch light on many of those dash 9s didn't work. Mine included. Edit: I just read down and saw I posted 6 years ago about this. ..

[@jefferyallen7042]

What throttles can I use for g scale and power supply? my gp 38 is going to have an esu decoder in it.

[@jbhuse]

There are some really good options out there. My first recommendation would be the blutom facebook.com/GScaleBT/?fref=ts As for power supply i would recomend a simple 24v power supply off amazon with a simple throttle www.amazon.com/Switching-Transformer-Regulated-Computer-Project/dp/B00ANFJ26U/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1477325165&sr=8-6&keywords=24v+power+supply I have used bridgewerks but they are overprices if you ask me.

[@StanGauge]

Great video. Are these engines suitable for outdoor use?

[@DENVERRIOGRANDEMAN21]

Yes

[@boynesstrainworld8481]

What's the price of these engines

[@rockyminton95]

aristo craft dash 9 is black is it?

[@jbhuse]

Thank you i had hoped it would be educational.

[@charlesstevenson5141]

Who is the manufacturer of the track in the center?

[@jbhuse]

That track is made by USA trains. I think it's the USA style ties.

[@jasonsmith6408]

I've got the same light out on my Ariatocraft Dash 9 from day 1. You said it may be a solder problem?

[@jbhuse]

I was told by my friend that owns a hobby store that there was a problem with a cold solder joint and you needed to reflow the solder to fix it. I have yet to find it though.

[@andrewborges7768]

I thought it was supposed to be that way? Pardon me if I am misinformed though.

[@jasonsmith6408]

I haven't taken it apart yet. Would love to fix it though. It's a great running engine aside from that.

[@kennethdavis8892]

Jason Smith I have the same problem on a Dash 9, 1 ditch light doesn't work.

[@kennethdavis8892]

Did you ever get the ditch light working

[@jbhuse]

Yep, reflow the solder that runs to that light

[@amysud]

What controller are you using?

[@jbhuse]

Revolution train engineer. 2.4ghz

[@CameronCobb]

beautiful

[@hamzazeneddin3674]

Wheres the mth diesel train wheres is it left or right

[@jbhuse]

Left

[@trevorgwelch7412]

You have a lot of money to spend on trains. Must be nice 👍

[@northwesternohiorailfan5622]

I ALWAYS WANTED A UP AND CSX G SCALE I HAVE G SCALE TRACKS FOR THE UP

[@Creeperboy099]

Even though I don’t have much space for rails, I’d like to get a BN SD40 to put on rollers for display :)

[@phantasmone532]

LGB IS KING!!!!

[@gregeusa]

Power pickup on MTH and USAT is far superior to that of Aristo. MTH and USAT pickup from the wheels AND sliders.

[@rockyminton95]

Aristo craft comparison

[@rockyminton95]

the SD-70 mack was first

[@HappyHands.]

The MTH will handle R2 curves

[@northwesternohiorailfan5622]

I ALLWAYS WANTED A SOUNDED GM DASH 9

[@michaelwashington2682]

Dumb me I thought they ran on real diesel fuel. LMAO 😂

[@TechnoYacy]

Well maybe in the future
