    Well, it actually arrived a few days ago. I've fitted TCS MC2 decoders to both A and B units, regauged the wheels (they were a tad tight for Atlas c55) and hardwired the pickups. I wasn't to fussed with Overlands pick up system so decided that hardwiring would solve a lot of problems down the road. All in all I'm extremely pleased with it.

    Nice.
    Can you post a picture of the tender?
    This set looks a bit different from the one I have.

    It's these type of models that make me wish I had chosen a western US railroad instead of the PRR! Oh well, I guess I can always dream of a Centipede! Beautiful model.

    Welcome, Train_Dave! Can't wait to see that repower.

    Interesting thought! I wonder if any present manufacturer has the capability to effectively reproduce that sound? It was quite impressive!
