The new 45-tonners are being delivered. Saw some at my LHS. VERY nice--run very slow and smooth. There is provision underneath the airtanks for a mini-speaker for future sound installation. Go buy! :)
Good Evening All,
I picked up my two 45 tonners today and am very pleased with them. They are geared for very slow speed running, so a 99% throttle setting on my Digitrax system provides a speed, at best, 25% of what a road engine would do. While a bit on the small and light side, these engines should be a fine addition to any railroad, assuming that they are used for what they are intended and not to pull 20 car trains.
For what it is.....Bachmann has a winner!!
