@VJandP posted:Pretty neat engine. I can’t speak to how prototypical the overall design is but there are lots of cool details. It sounds awesome! Much better than the 2–10–4 Texan I just got. Smokes like a forest fire. It runs so smoothly…it just oozes down the track. Being a Visionline engine I thought it would have the swinging bell but it does not. I haven’t hooked up any cars to it yet so I can’t comment on the force coupler operation. Overall, very happy with it. Worth $2 grand? All I can say is ****, what isn’t expensive nowadays? I’m ok with it but my budget is depleted for 2023 already 😝
You left the foam under the tender between the trucks and the body. Might want to remove that so it doesn't create any unnecessary drag.
