Tender seems a bit small for a heavy Pacific. Nice model. Perfect grade crossing whistle, Dana.
Do thy make a vanderbuilt oil tender for it?
Once again, the video action got to the heart of the matter, while giving a great demonstration of the great model.
BL does it again. Only complaint I have is the quad set of leading wheels always seem to be too light to track on even the slightest glitch in the rails. I’ve got 2 BL STEAM units and have weighted both sets of leading wheels.
Nicely done !
Should the wheels on the lead truck be painted black or dark rusty brown, or is the loco running Chrysler hubcaps?
I’m glad so many people like this engine, but let’s not get carried away. It isn’t correct in a lot of ways. If you doubt me, just google pictures of the recent PSC model, or even the old Key model for that matter. Quite a difference. So better than brass? No way, no how… And the Paragon 2 sound system leaves a whole lot to be desired when compared to TCS WowSound, ESU LokSound, and QSI Titan. No smoke either is a big let down. It is a nice enough mass produced plastic steamer for the price. Just don’t try to fool others into thinking it is more than it really is.
