This one took some work for being out of the box. After a little under 2hrs no more 4th of July fireworks. If you missed it I had a problems with a short resulting in sparks between the truck and body. I had to change a few wires that were melted as the result of the short. In any event it is a pretty nice running engine.

I love the detail in the Premier line though I doubt I will purchase a lot since the Rail King model looks just as nice. I thought I would post another video to show you what it looks like on the rails. I hope you don't get bored with my link to > videos.  This is the GP 40 running without all the fire.
