Scott Mann;

If you are watching this, THIS is the loco I've been bugging you about building.

Now, when can I expect delivery of mine???

The hobby is full of 072 minimum radius engines. as for the command system, The obvious choice is and always will be TMCC so that you don't further limit the potential market. But if MTH makes it, it may very well boost DCS system sales in the Virginia area.
