I've lurked around the RMT Booth at several Yorks admiring their trains. When the BEEFS were announced the curiosity factor cranked up pretty high. My wife picked up the PRR set for me for Christmas - the A-B-A and four passenger cars. She phoned in and spoke to Walter to place the order. She couldn't speak more highly of him and the transaction. She was really excited to explain how it all went down.
Long story short... these things are awesome. I liked the set so much that I went online and picked up the SANTA-FE during the sale. If you don't own a set of these, I'd highly recommend them. They are durable - so the small kids can play with them and for sheer fun value - very tough to beat. They'll make you smile the first time you run them because they're very different - whimsical maybe?
They'll keep you smiling too, because these things just flat out run. Not much too worry about in terms of smoke units (don't have em') or other fancy extras.
Finish is outstanding - nice paint and great graphics on the two sets we own.
Just thought I'd mention this as a positive experience from start to finish.
Also want to thank Walter for helping my wife with the initial purchase. She's a true RMT fan at this point. Lucky me!
