First we spray weeds and other things with MTH’s UP Weed Sprayer. Next the call goes out to transport the snow removal train up into the mountains where an imaginary snow has fouled the tracks. See the Lionel jet powered snow blower as well as an MTH Jordan Spreader. A fast freight pulled by MTH’s 8500 HP turbine has a mishap prompting the repainted Lionel Amtrak work train to come to the rescue. The final run of the day involves the MTH DC-3 Track Detector car and it finds a surprising defect. This requires a radio call to UP’s North Platte office.
