New delivery.

Kansas City Southern (KCS) E-3 A unit.

Imported by BLI in 2005.

I like the colorful look of this engine, it was made in the 30's when I 'model' plus it only cost what I pay to put a sound decoder into one of my steam engines!

It has the QSI decoder that is now 10 years old but I have found them to be reliable and a good 'sound'.

Video; 'Yard test'.

Back when BLI was using foam inserts instead of the new 'clam shell' inserts.

Nicely painted.

Bottom light constant while the top 'rotates' when engine is moving.

I like those early 'shovel nose' diesels.

Number boards are lighted.

All wheels powered.

Engine was already 'loaded' as 22 but needed to input all data into my roster.

programming track.

Did a 'read decoder'.

Only 'one option' for the decoder selection.

Description page.

Short address 22 written.

Roster update.

Throttle test.
