GM I hopeing the layout will start soon, designing the darn thing is getting tiring!! These PK2's have sound so are a little on the light side, one set of wheels has rubber tires! but they pull all that heavy Cat stuff!!
David, The Cat set is kinda cool, all diecast except the trucks so everything is really heavy. Needs a DCC decoder and I'm sure it will be fine. My bro-inlaw uses all Cat equipment (20 diggers 6 Kenworths) so he got me the last one in NZ. It's an Australian edition ( different voltage transformer) mine is number 226 out of 500 made, kinda special?
Edit. The decoder arrived in yesterdays mail, I'm going to use all Lenz Gold series decoders in my fleet. They have some cool features like auto braking at a red signal etc. I've fitted one to the Cat loco and it's as smooth as silk.
