I was indeed fortunate to have Santa leave this masterpiece under the Christmas Tree. I love big steamers, but this engine literally blows me away. Aside from it's good looks, the features are second to none. I am afraid my Challengers, Big Boy, Allegheny, and Erie TriPlex will have to take a back seat to this engine now.
If you have a 3000, what are your impressions of this engine?
