I just got my Hybrid Mikado and I am blown away! The detail of this engine has already been discussed and deserves all the praise it has gotten. I am especially grateful for the easy Kadee conversion! Lionel included a bracket and two screws. The bracket screws into pre-drilled holes in the tender and then you bolt the draft gear box to the bracket....EASY! Thank you Lionel, finally you have delivered an engine on par with the detail of 3rd Rail with ALL the features of Legacy (including smoking whistle!!)!
I did a little detail work on the interior of the cab to make sure this engine looks as good on the inside as the outside!
