What does everyone think of the new 2-8-0's? I've realized some of the road names/road numbers don't stick to the true prototype but what does everyone think of them?

Love the smoking whistle but that's what I like about it.. I don't like the detail that's doesn't mean prototypical . Means it looks like a rtr engine . I plan on selling mine for sure .

Better hurry before dealers put the remaining stock on blowout in a few months.

It's not like I get anywhere near what I payed for it. I am thinking about gutting it and making a smokeing whistle j to be honest.
I have the old first run of the Southern Pacific version. I upgraded it with a cruise commander M and it is now one of my favorite engines to run. The BTO has run its course and now its time to move on. Lionel going generic was a big mistake but that just my opinion.
