Picked this up recently from Artful Dodger. I pretty impressed with the engine( Hall Class Locomotive ) The remote is easy to use and its a no brainer. Surprising its a strong puller compared to the Hogwarts Express version. As evident in the below videos pulling a fifteen car consit or about 20 lbs of freight cars. Using about a third of the throttle setting. Only issue I have found, that the Lionel Chief signal conflicts with TMCC. To bad it doesn't come with cruse control.
