Roller test stand video: Proto 2000 HO scale USRA heavy 2-10-2

I’m very happy with my 2-10-2 especially the QSI sound decoder. It’s able to pull 48 ore cars & caboose up 1.7% hill with traction tire installed.

snazzy toy to run locos on… where can i get one???

This pasted Saturday I purchased a new BLI 2-10-2 and, from with I can see in the video, the Walthers 2-10-2 is very impressive, where were you hidding at the train show??

Iam an N-gager,but this is a very impressing performance of the ability to manufacture any Loco of this type. WOW!

I own one of these and find it very well done. The test stand is a good way to evaluate an engine.

I like the test stand view. It’s much easier to watch the performance than out on the track. The engine is 'way too big for me, but I’m very impressed with the smoothness. Hardly any vibration of the engine.

I was brought up in the steam age. How come I’m running AC4400s and the like??? That sure is a beauty… Fun to watch…

Pretty nice

Impressive sound, synced well with engine

Nice!! That is a big engine. You’ll need wide radius curves for it to look proper on your layout.

Very impresive. I think I,ll have to get a 2-10-2 and the test stand

I bought one from Tuckers Hobbies last week, it is a real beauty!! I saw many a steam engine as a boy, and never lost my love of these work horses of the past. Anyone who loves steam locomotives will want one these.

Looks like it have very smooth speed control through all speed ranges. Nice sounds also. The test stand is excellent.

I have a PRR one and it is great for my Coal train of 39 hoppers even without the traction tire. It does handle 18" curves. A fantastic engine.

wow. great loco. love the new intro guys! keep up the good work!

Looks great. May have to get one to add to the roster of my steam loco’s with the big boy and the challanger. Great sound

Great makes you want to run out and by one!

This monster is almost enough to make me switch from N

The sound is impressive, even if the exhaust has only half the beats of the prototype. I think the proper four beats per revolution would spoil the effect.
