There are conflicting photos in the MTH catalog and on the website of the new Railking VO-1000. Some show a model with fixed pilots, others show swinging. I'm willing to bet they are swinging, but if I can find one that looks like this with fixed pilots it's mine!



Here is a photo of another VO-1000 that has swinging pilots:

I don't know Jonnyspeed, but this NYC version is available at a bunch of dealers on the MTH product finder including Jimmy Sutters. You might give him a call and ask. I wouldn't mind one myself if they are fixed.

Thanks Al. I'll give Jimmy a call. My guess is that MTH used Weaver models in their catalog. Here is a photo from the Weaver site:



If they still made these in B&O I would pick one up today... Is Weaver phasing these out?

Hey... I like my Weaver VO-1000!

I'd say Weaver is rotating their models. The current web page doesn’t have the RS-11's and they are missing from time to time but come back. Weaver didn't offer their 53' flat car for a while and it came back. Considering the competition just about has everything they offer now I hope they aren’t sliding to obscurity.
