Being a litlle on the nosey side, so you don’t have to answer (you are not under aoth!LOL. Where did you purchase it & what was the approx. $? I have the 2-8-4 Mountain UP#7000 and I really like it. I’m modeling 1950’s so ti is borderline prototypical, but ,hey Its my RR. I got mine from a LHS in MemphisModell Railroad & Hobbies for $329.00 tax and all. I’ve been really wantinting th SP Cabforward though. I have a Rivarossi CF lettered for the HR & NP, but its not near the loco you have. I have several diesels with self-installed Soundtraxx decoders that are totally cool. Also, what kind of tonnage can you pull on what grade. I have a Digitrax system (Super Chief Radio) that makes MRRing very enjoyable. I want to install sound & smoke to my Cab forward, but thats still a little ways into the future.
You can get a Broadway Limited Cab Forward from some of the interent train wholesale places for around 400-450.00 I have one and love it. By far and away ,my fav engine.
