I just want some input on this Locomotive that I plan on purchasing. What do you all think about it?????
 
I'd jump on it if the price is right, otherwise price out the loco and sound decoder seperately and judge from there.
It's pretty much a Kato with the details added and DCC & sound added already, but you likely knew that.

I love mine.

Thanks Rico! Yeah, the price is $205 on the Kato website, but I'm gonna purchase it for about $180.
 


It's a better idea to buy it without sound and then install a Soundtraxx tsuanami. Then, set the tsunami onto manual notching, notch it all the way up to notch 8, then run it around.

The digitrax sound may disappoint, especially since you work with the real things :D
