the missabe 2-8-8-4 is just awesome, if I don’t find a brass version, if someone makes a plastic, I’ll get it.
as far as sound goes, I have the BLI 2-6-6-4. roxors, major N&W fan and so glad this engine got made.
I tinkered with sound adding sound to my rivarossi 2-8-8-2 double chuffing it…heh.
if you get sound, you will like it. yep, if you heard O Winston Links stuff , you know how cool it is.
If your looking for just the model ok, but I look for the effect as well, the sound adds to it.
I am still working on my layout, no real running stuff yet, I got Bachmann’s ez DCC and placed my 2-8-8-4 on a test track and just played with all the features…
how much fun can you have with an engine just sitting…8-D
