Maybe they have Bachmann stuff aboard the world's biggest container ship!

That is one large ship, and a crew of only 13, amazing.

And for only another $2,524.95, you can buy it DCC and sound-equipped! 8) Still, for that price, you'd think it would come with knuckle couplers included, not rudder-mounted horn-hooks...

Hey,
It the design, don't ruin it, the horn is too 'scale' loud for the digitrax anyway, unless your willing to vibrate the 'water' it's in... :D

And 2 degree radii, at maximum!

I just got mine in yesterday, I don't think it runs as well as it should..... I guess I'll have to buy the Bowser re-powering kit ($712.88 MSRP + tax)  :(
