Out - Of - ProductionDISCONTINUED By the Manufacturer MTH OPERATING CARS: While we take pride in the prototype accuracy of most of our HO products, you will find items bearing an I-Series designation (and item numbers with an "81" prefix) may feature imaginary graphics or stray from historical accuracy. These products are exciting and enjoyable for railroaders who like to use their imagination and just have some fun. Imagine if the BNSF developed a "Heritage Series" of locomotives like the Union Pacific. A SD70ACe in Santa Fe livery would be a knockout!These new operating action and aquarium cars take their inspiration from popular O gauge cars issued in the 1950's. There were in fact a number of prototype cars built to carry live fish, perhaps the most famous being the Nautilus owned by Chicago's John G. Shedd Aquarium but of course none had glass sides! Our new Operating Action cars feature backlit scenes that move as the car rolls by, with aquatic-themed cars featuring wavy glass to simulate water.This exciting car features a backlighted moving animation strip visible through each of the car's four large viewing windows. Utilizing a quiet and efficient motorized player and bright LED lighting, the animated action really shines bright!

HO cars. Using an intricately detailed, yet durable ABS body atop smooth rolling trucks results in a lightweight car that won't bog down a locomotive struggling to pull. HISTORY:The Budweiser Clydesdales are hands-down the most famous draft horse hitch in the world — the iconic eight matching bays with all that gorgeous feathering, polished harness and red beer wagon have graced our television screens and memorabilia and evoked emotions in spectators from coast to coast who gather just for the briefest glimpse at these beautiful horses.It’s hard to put a finger on specifically what it is about this enormous but impeccably-operated hitch that is so emotionally gripping to observers — is it the majesty of the horses themselves? The uncanny teamwork? Or is it the living echo of the past, the reminder to all of us of days gone by, when horses were more than a luxury but our partners in industry and agriculture?While the Budweiser hitch might be the best-known to thunder down our parade streets these days, they’re certainly not the first commercial hitch to grab the public eye — from the turn of the century well into the 1900s, plenty of national-scale breweries as well as midwest packing houses maintained a commercial hitch, both for public events and to compete in the show ring. Breweries in particular have a long history with draft horses, relying on them not only to deliver beer but also to work in the plants themselves powering machinery. The heyday of the commercial hitch, however, is well behind us.It’s probably pretty safe to assume that the Budweiser hitch is here to stay (despite that moment of panic a while back when the internet convinced itself they were being retired). Other commercial hitches of yesterday were not so lucky — whether due to budget constraints or a lack of interest in continuing to furnish and maintain a commercial hitch and all of its trappings, what used to be a common and celebrated way to advertise a business has become rare indeed.
