I had O gauge as a youth and loved it. A large layout. Kept me off the streets. As an adult, I had a massive HO layout and loved it even more. Each sons and I had different railroad. Chuck had SF, Greg had U.P. , Jeff had Cotton Belt and I had Frisco. Grandmother had taken the Gulf Mobil & Ohio for decades each summer to Mississippi to see her mother. So we got her a GM&O passenger set. We moved several times, the kids became adults [then no grand kids] and my professional life became weekly being on Delta and NW airlines for a decade. So we boxed up all models and put them in storage, and kept moving more. I loved modeling and looking at both! So I will post here what is new in O gauge since many HO members can do that in their blogs.
Soon some new O gauge items are: MTH https://www.mthtrains.com/sites/default/files/Article-784---Premier-F7.jpg Frisco 20-21805-3 O Scale Premier F-7 B-Unit Diesel (Non-Powered) Frisco 20-21806-1 O Scale Premier F-7 A Unit Diesel Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0 (Hi-Rail Wheels) Frisco 20-21806-3 O Scale Premier F-7 B-Unit Diesel (Non-Powered) Frisco 20-21806-4 O Scale Premier F-7 A Unit Non-Powered Diesel Engine (Hi-Rail Wheels) RailKing https://www.mthtrains.com/news/753 30-21007-1 O Gauge RailKing FM H10-44 Diesel Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0 Frisco ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another item: Go to Forums Modeling New Products, Dec. 22, 2022 for Lionel's New Release: Delivery delayed: March 31, 2023 Locomotive Frisco Legacy 0-6- 2023 http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?threads/locomotive-frisco-legacy-0-6-0-3801-pre-orders.13885/ picture v This Legacy is loaded with 24 features.

Yep, I agree. Seems to have more with the Frisco roadname. Many decades ago, most O gauge seemed to be mostly toy trains for kids. Their still here, but now there is so much more. Hard for me to comprehend what is now available. Steam locomotives with very high of accurace, correct details, exceptional realism via many electronic features. This one here has 36 features, the latest in LEGACY and Bluetooth control, sounds, electronic and smoke effects. http://www.lionel.com/products/frisco-legacy-4-8-4-4524-2031250 upload_2022-12-30_21-27-5.jpeg picture v 4-8-4-12 Min Curve: O54 Dimensions: Length: 27 .25" http://www.lionel.com/products/frisco-legacy-4-8-4-4524-2031250 features the latest in LEGACY and Bluetooth control, sounds, electronic and smoke effects. These locomotives were used in both freight and passenger service. upload_2022-12-30_21-27-5.jpeg
I am not so certain that the MTH items will come to fruition; MTH went out of business and if I remember correctly, ScaleTrains bought all the tooling within the past year.
Atlas bought the MTH Premier line ,( or parts of it) and have already announced the production of some of them. Robert
To me here is what it sounds like at MTH. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I signed up for their E-mail notices. For 2022 they had 51. ~ one per week. For 2023, they have sent out 12 already. All were for New Releases coming soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ https://www.mthtrains.com/about MTH restructured in 2021. Owner retires. He sells HO tooling and a few other things. Sells their company's facilities. Each major department/division becomes their own company. Three new companies: Parts, Research, MTH. Each has their own location. They will still work together. Each company also can do business with other model railroad manufacturers. 2022-2023. ~ Same key management. Less direct employees. More contract workers [some of which were their prior employees]. Partnering: Working with other companies on some joint interests. Perhaps then MTH can manufacture those. They have worked with Lionel and others before.
