New MTH RK NYC P47 Pacific | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Just got this on the tracks and thought i'd post some pics and thoughts. Out of the box, noticed bell lever bent and bell askew. Bent back as much as I dared to get bell positioned properly. Connecting bolt on left side rod loose, allowing linkage to flop around. Right link arm bent. Corrected these oversights, but the loco is rough and catches at low speeds, 2-6 mph. Other than that, pretty nice loco. Paint better than I expected from the pics. Adding pics of Williams 6467 for comparison.

Both are great looking engines. Impressive detail on both, expected for the MTH Imperial, but a step up for the WBB.
