I own one of these too . I like it alot . Their are a couple of things however that are disapointing . First my USA GP38-2 easilly out pulls it . It seems that the rear set of drivers do all the work . I wonder if there is a way to measure how much of the total locomotive weight is carried on each set of drive wheels . My guess is that the rear carries most of the weight. Next watch out if you back a heavy train with this engine . Once I did and the drawbar somehow came off between the engine and tender and when I went forward the whole train was being yanked around by the electrical cord . Of cource this happened when the train was out of sight and I didn't notice the large gap . It probably went around the railroad a few times . At the time I was pulling all 6 of my USA streamliner cars at 10 pounds each . Now the sound cuts in and out and I lost both my marker lites and backup lite .Gotta send it back to MTH to repair the cord and socket . I really like the "proto 2.0 system however . Its a real must in my opinion . I like the record / playback function alot. You can record up to 90 minuites of operation and play it back once or loop it to continually run all day .All the bell , whistle , direction , speed ,etc. will be recorded and allowed to repeat itself . This is real nice when you have company and the railroad seems automated to stop at the station , etc. Anyway I really can't wait to get it back cuz it is really my favorite loco to play with . Just some thoughts on my engine.[img]http://www.planetdonnstudios.com/mike/winter/images/014.jpg[/img]
