Thanks,

There's a thread about these over on the 3R O scale forum:

Pics are of 2R version but plenty of info on 3R version as well. Second run of these models is due out in a couple of months I think.
Was the consensus that they were beautiful, great finish, details and paint, but that the drive mechanism left something to be desired?.....

No. The drive is SUPER, especially since ALL 6 AXLES ARE POWERED, unlike the real "E" series units. With the standard Sunset/3rd Rail "toothed belt" drive system and large can motor, they are smooth AND quiet.
Hot Water is right. Our SP&S E7 is a dream. Powerful, quiet, and very well executed.
I was disappointed with the shade of gray on the NYC. Has a greenish cast to it. Operation is OK, but not as good as Legacy. John
