Hi GUYZ,

I'd like to know if the pros and cons of this engine, any suggestions would be appriciated.

Thanks,

I have the Pennsy one. Great sounds, smoke and operation. I have never had a problem with it. It's # is 6-18091.

I paid $400 for mine at York about 8-9 years ago (Yellow Hall was still in service), but I have forgotten from whom somewhere in the Yellow Hall.

I have always been happy with the purchase. It blows smoke rings at slowspeeds that are a real crowd-pleaser.

I have the CNJ TMCC version. I love it. The smoke rings Peter mentioned are definitely cool.
