I reviewed it in the Jan 01 issue and frankly, it was of better quality than my 6250 that I've had since childhood!

I have a Williams NW-2 switcher, and have been very happy with it. It is heavy, and will pull quite a few cars. It is also a very quiet running engine. I have had a problem with the front coupler,but it was easily fixed. It is a nice repro. of the original Lionel version. Mine is a bell-only version, and the bell sounds pretty good, also.

Its die cast weight makes it a great puller.Also you can add and interior lighting into
the cab,it gives it a touch of class..Much better buy then the Lionel post war versions.

I couldn't be happier with mine. I had to wait a long time to get it because everyone kept selling out of the AT&SF 623 but for me the wait was well worth it.

John, I have the Lehigh Valley with bell only and I totally agree with the other comments here. The paint job is excellent also!
