I got the 33-1044-1 P&LE 2-8-0. I like it, the whistle sound is much improved over the proto 2 version. It has great pulling power for it's size. The only thing is it "wobbles" a little while its rolling down the track, probably a traction tire issue. It's not that big a deal to me, I've seen videos of real steamers with a slight wobble rolling down the track.... I run it on DCS and I love the sounds, remote coupler and scale MPH features as well as 4 chuffs per revolution. The headlight features "rule 17 lighting", It dims when stopped at idle and brightens up when starting to roll forward(And, of course, the smoke unit is great) And for all the features, you can't beat the price, well worth the investment, IMHO.

Is this loco have passenger sounds in DCS? I thought this was a freight engine, but since I'm looking for passenger I'm hoping.
