To date, I haven't purchased any diesel-electric locomotives since the early 2000's, which is a good thing for my economic situation, but the Legacy SW-7 looks really neat and reminds me of my childhood Marx switcher engine that ran around at Christmas time every year. I haven't read any reviews on this model. Can anyone comment on it?

Paul, I have the CSXT Green switcher, and it’s amazing and is a fun to run small diesel. It’s a great smoker, although I do not run it smoking, thecsounds are great and it runs slow and smooth. Good searching.
Thanks Mike and Larry.
I read the other thread on the SW-7 and it appears there's some problems with some of the engines out there. I am not going to make any blanket statements suffice it to say I'll likely pass on this model. I am pretty much all steam anyway and the last catalog pre-orders have me committed - or perhaps I should've been committed after pre-ordering so much stuff given QC is a wildcard anymore. Maybe someday I'll get a little switcher.
