Most of you remember my woes with my wife and I went through when she got me Genisis MRC equipped SD45 for my birthday. Well, I brought it home and it promtply fell on its face. Wouldnt run at all, blah blah.
Well I took it back and ordered a Atlas unit and it showed up today. I got a Union Pacific 8-40CW in the Gold Series… Sure enough, ran great right out of the box. Beautiful engine, so smooth and pulls hard. I will try and get some pics tonight. My wife saw me walk in from the garage and I was smiling so big it almost hurt. Its gonna be a busy night on the mainlines of the Kiva Valley
…and yet another chapter closes in the saga of Big Guy and his Lady Fair and their mutual devotion and love.
