RailKing One-Gauge equipment offers long-lasting, impact-resistant polycarbonate
bodies, powerful flywheel-equipped DC can motors, and precise 1:32 scale
proportions and detail. Features include metal handrails, spinning fans,
constant voltage lighting, puffing smoke timed to the engine's chuffing,
firebox glow, cab figures, sliding cab windows, and much, much more. In
addition to the eye-popping detail, the line is built tough for years
of outdoor operation.

RailKing One-Gauge's 1:32
scale models are designed to work with existing equipment. The engines
and cars run on existing standard 2-rail 45mm DC-powered track systems,
including the Code 215 rails used by fine scale railroaders and LGB's
332 track. Each locomotive includes two sets of couplers, a knuckle
coupler and a hook & loop coupler, so they can easily be adapted
to mate with other garden-sized train systems.
RailKing One-Gauge brings
exciting technology to indoor or outdoor model railroading. The line
offers digital, CD-quality sound, including steam chuffing or diesel
roar, squeaking brakes, and more. The engines also feature puffing smoke
in steam engines and speed control, which works like the cruise control
system in a car to regulate speed over variable outdoor terrain.
When a RailKing One-Gauge
locomotive is controlled with M.T.H.'s DCS Digital Command System, the
user can access hundreds of features and sounds bringing to life a model
railroading experience unmatched by any other manufacturer.
RailKing One-Gauge uses the
latest technology and high quality materials to ensure that every model
we make is built to last. With their sturdy construction, powerful motors,
and well-integrated form, fit, and function, RailKing One-Gauge trains
smoothly pull long consists for years. And the detailed, beautifully
painted bodies bring scale accuracy to One Gauge railroading.
M.T.H.'s RailKing One-Gauge
line is based on our business philosophy that model railroaders deserve
all the variety of the real railroads. Garden railroaders interested
in scale models of American prototypes have been forced to make due
with limited offerings of narrow gauge prototypes. That all changes
with RailKing One-Gauge models. One Gauge fans can expect to see a variety
of steam, diesels, and electrics from all eras of American railroad
history as the RailKing One-Gauge line evolves.
RailKing One-Gauge delivers
high quality models at a price the average modeler can afford. We don't
believe you have to pay thousands of dollars for an engine before you
can feel confident that it is accurately researched and well made. Our
company has a proud history of providing top-drawer quality in our O
Gauge lines at reasonable prices, and we want to extend this philosophy
to One Gauge.
We know that many model railroaders
expect their models to look and sound just like the prototype to keep
the illusion of reality. That's why M.T.H. takes care to get things
right. We work with scale drawings, not just photographs, to make sure
our measurements and detail level are right. Then we use the latest
technology that allows us to see and handle an actual 3-D prototype
of our model. We check this out carefully from all angles and make any
adjustments we think are necessary before we ever cut the first mold.
That's how we know that our models will please even the most exacting
hobbyist.
Our graphic artists and researchers
carefully review car art, measuring every line and letter in hundredths
of a millimeter to be sure our accurate paint schemes add to the beauty
of the model. Then the approved paint scheme is crisply applied to the
detailed bodies.
Finally, whenever possible
we record the prototype sounds of the engine we're modeling. We spend
a lot of time at excursion railways and operating railyards digitally
recording real locomotives to ensure our models have the distinctive
sound of the real thing. If you close your eyes, you might think you're
hearing a real locomotive rolling past.
But why would you want to
close your eyes, when there are such beautifully realistic models to
watch!
