This locomotive is a beauty. The extra detail parts are relatively easy to install and look great once in place.

Is it only the one that I bought (#7008), or do they all come without uncoupling levers and MU hoses? What a nuisance!
And I beg to differ when it comes to these extra detail parts. It is a hell of a job (particularly those window wipers). Why would I buy this, when I can get models, that come complete (Atlas, Proto 2000) at about the same price?

I bought a CN SD75I. Virtually the same thing and runs well. i recomend filing down the snap tabs a bit otherwise it is a pain to get open. Nice puller though.
