When I purchased this loco, I was a little worried on the quality, since it wasn't a Spectrum or Plus from Bachmann. But I was pleasantly surprised. It runs very smoothly and the sound is very accurate and authentic. I would recommend this loco. It's a great value for a quality loco!
this engine is not the best looking engine I have but I believe it is the most powerful. I have it on my 22 radius layout pulling 26 freight cars easily. sound is good, all functions are great. what sold me was the price, $115 for a dcc w/sound is fantastic. Only problem is how many engines are too much? O well.
