Just a few photos of an NKP unit i picked up today at the local hobby shop (Grand Central Ltd, Lincoln, NE) This is my second new Lionel locomotive, as i'm just getting started in 3 rail after being in N and HO for a while. All in all i'm impressed with the unit, great sound, details are great and it's quiet when you run it with no sound, just purrs along. No damage in transit, it was well packed away, however the front knuckle will not fire, but it does make the railsound noise of pulling the pin. I dont really use that function myself, but i'll probably see if I can get it fixed should I decide to sell the unit in the future. Really glad I decided to get this engine, and am considering adding a N&W unit to go with it to model a post merger N&W/NKP consist.
