Just saw them. Amazing. I like the L3 with the elephant ears. My credit card may end up getting a workout soon.

The L4 will come with ears, at least I hope anyway. One more piece to my NYC roster, it's slowly getting full

Looks like plenty of moulded-on detail. Does anyone know if their HO scale model had the front grab irons moulded on?

Hi Guys,

Any photos of the L-3 Mohawk? I'm hoping for an as-built version of the NYC L-3's; truly one of the best looking engines ever rostered. And are there any other photos of the series of Mohawks that MTH is offering?

Beautiful. Having the air line going to the top of the bell is a nice touch IMO.

I am not into the NYC, but I really like the lines on the L3a and L3b. Interesting because I don't care for the NYC Hudons at all.

The MTH L3 holds up well against the 3rd Rail model.

Thanks Gary,

For the photos of the L-3b Mohawk....what I wish to see are photos of the MTH version of the L-3a's, engine numbers 3000-3024. I my opinion, they are the handsomest of the NYC Mohawk's. Again, I'm hoping for the as-built version...
no smokelifters, original placement of sand dome and separate shields of the front air pumps (not the one piece shield) up on the pilot beam.

MTH's L-3b looks like a copy of Sunset's offering, with the exception of the drivers. Again, MTH should have taken into account that that version of the L-3b was alrady done by Sunset and should have offered a different version of it.

My barber gives Mohawks for only $3.50 assuming you have enough hair! Coloring is extra.

The L4 is not grabbing me either. You will have an ugly loco roster. Razz Wink It's a good thing that I already have an L3b or my wallet would be sweating blood. Eek

Glad you are finally getting that L4 Gary.

Well, your Mohawk collections will not be complete until someone makes a model of the OIL burning streamlined L-2C #2873.
