railking G.E. Evolution

There has been a couple video's of it posted. Sounds good and looks good. Good purchase.

Mine arrived last week from Legacy Station.  Looks great!

YES - Great looking engine 

I am a big fan of RailKing • Value for the $

Does it have the decorative lights along the walkway of engine?

Can you take a picture of the engine, with lights on. 

Thanks

You're gonna really like that RailKing version.  I saw in action this past weekend on Dave Minarik's Mercer Station store layout.  Very nice!  I already have the earlier Premier version, but if I didn't have it I would certainly be going after the RailKing model--the two are pretty much identical in terms of detailing and the sounds are great.  Gotta love those charging lights!

I wish ordered one of these.  They look extremely nice.  

You won't be disappointed I have four of them.

Basically, just the overall size.  The Premier version is scale size; the RailKing version is smaller proportionally, but unless you place the two side by side, it's not a difference that is readily evident.

Thanks!  I'm a RailKing fan too.  This is my first Imperial RailKing.

Yes, it has the charging lights.  In the next few days, when I get time, I'll post a pic with the lights on.  I haven't run this one yet.

Last time I checked the MTH Product Locator, I believe it showed several dealers with the Premier version in stock.

Can I see more pictures pelease?

This is an old video of 3 of the premier GE's. As you can tell, I like smoke.

Ive got 3 of them in our hobby stor. They look and sound great, what a value

Wow, Spence that was cool.

Matt is right that they are a great value.  Get one while you can!

Here are some quick pics of my Railking Imperial GEVO and my alternate version in Premier.  Not great pics...I used my tablet camera.  As Marty said, there is an obvious size difference.  These two are bad for my migraines, but I like them both...a lot.

Thanks!!!

What is your store name? 

Checking the stats, at least the ones I looked at, it says the following:

    Premier - 19 x 2 7/16 x 3 1/2

    RK        - 17 x 2 1/2 x 3 3/4

Not sure if these are accurate (and they indicate the RK version is slightly wider and taller than the Premier!). At 17" long, the RK is still a good sized engine. In Keith's comparison photos, however, the RK appears significantly smaller than the Premier - seemingly more than the numbers would indicate.

Incidently, the Premier retailed for $530; street was about $480.

       This is my second Generation edition. My wife got me this as an advanced Christmas gift. I can hardly wait to run both of them together. 

How do you like the moddel over all and what you don't like? (Railking) (Pictures)

I love mine (Proto-3/scale wheels). A friend of mine is trying to track down the a set after I ran mine for him at a train show back in June. No luck finding another scale-wheeled set so far. 

Liked it so much I got GE demonstrator #2005 (Proto-2/scale wheels). #2005 was re-painted and had a hybrid drive installed to become #2010. Explains why I experienced a small ripple in the space-time continuum when I coupled the two together. [OK, cheap science fiction reference].

Any one else?

Maybe a review or a running?

Eric Seigel did a pretty good review of the Premier hi-rail unit on YouTube as I recall. There are quite a few videos of the Hybrid already up there, including mine.

Thanks Matt and Eric did say he would do a review buthe never did. Thanks!

Thanks. Anyone else?
