Bob Keller of the Classic Toy Trains staff tests an MTH RailKing Camelback steam locomotive in the CTT workshop. The 4-6-0 has excellent sound, a fair amount of detail, and O-31 operation.

Just got my Lionel 571 Camelback Locomotive And l,am impress Very Nicely Detail and Nice Horn,Smoke and Bell. And Announcements and Chit Chatting

Wish I picked one of these up when it came out. It was basically a Railking Scale steam engine, which were rarely made. Not every day you get a command-control equipped O-Scale steam engine with that level of sound and detail for $400

Hi Bob - This is a nice model, but the LionChief Plus Camelback is also well done and it is fun to operated for visitors to any train room. No soft keys to teach a visitor, on.how to use the controller. Just hand a visitor a LionChief Plus Controller and they are now a model train engineer. • Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂

I'm a Lionel person because Lionel was my childhood but MTH trains have really cool features too!

Great review. Shame the music wasn't the best for the video. Got any classic railroad-themed songs to pair with these great reviews?

[@ClassicToyTrains]

+MossyOakRcn42 Music is a little tricky. We are limited to un-copyrighted music freely available for use. I've found a more pleasant tune and will give that a try. Still looking for a railroad-themed one!

It's a great looking locomotive there, Wish I could go buy in my stores anywhere

[@wyattsdad8561]

I like the whistle too! Wish my MTH berk had that whistle

[@catfishjenkem2226]

Cool setup ,but I don't think I would have want to have worked on it .LOL

[@mattsmocs3281]

It is a nice model. Shame nobody wants to fix the CNJ or reading, plus the people who actually own the DL&W can't get there engine back from St. Louis which is good enough shape to be made operable.

[@iron1349]

Camelbacks seem to have been designed with hostility towards the concept of ergonomics

[@ClassicToyTrains]

That's a great way to think about it!

[@stationmaster12]

time for a new layout guys..LOL
