A must have for fans of Chesapeake and Ohio steam. Super detail. Runs great even at speed step 1on a DCC system. Sounds are above average. Bell is great, whistle is not bad. Chuff is well synchronized with the drivers and the exhaust bark varies depending on whether the loco is speeding up or slowing down. Might be better with a Rolling Thunder system (which I don't have). Things that could be improved - headlight on the front of the loco could be brighter. Even though steam locomotives typically didn't have the blindingly bright lights of a modern loco, this one leaves a bit to be desired. Also wish that the front coupler could be swapped for the closed doors typical of a passenger loco. The smoke system works well - for what it is. It in no way replicates the smoke and steam emitted by a real locomotive. It is similar to the smoke system of a Lionel locomotive. But that is not a knock on this model. It's just not possible to do justice to to this part of the steam loco experience in a model. I'll probably just leave it off. Will look great on the head end of my Walthers George Washington passenger consist!Read full review
