Took it for a short run. Initial impressions:
Paint looks flawless
smooth runner w nice slow starts
visible wheel slip on the tender during faster starts -cool
i swear it’s Dave Olsen’s voice on some of the announcements
A couple things to watch out for (see the pics below):
The black wire in the first pic was resting on top of the front drivers. I folded it up and tucked it in as shown. It wasn’t noticeable until going around a curve.
The linkage in the 2nd pic is very low and just barely clears my DZ1000 switch machines. This linkage is on each of the 3 engines.
Suggest taking your first run slowly and turn the sound all the way down to listen and look for any binding, rubbing.

Did you have to do anything to the linkage?
