Good Morning All: I want to thank Fergie for not get rilled at me for poking fun at his new locomotive. I have really enjoyed thinking about what to say about this fabulous piece. I don't know what program my nephew used to change the color but he said it took him about 1 1/2 hours to do it. I'm going to leave the picture up for about another three weeks if you want to show any of your friends. It's been amazing how much e-mail the "pink panther" has generated. Leaving all kidding aside; I have realy enjoyed playing with this unit. Yesterday I read the instructions and found out how to turn the sound on and it was great. It has a wet whistle but that was common for these locomotives, my Soundtraxx 4-6-6-4 sounds the same way. It uses all 12 function keys for various sounds. I didn't get out my speedometer but I'd say it runs about 85-90 mph and tracks very good. I was impressed with the detail on this loco and think that it is a good buy (no I'm not being paid by Athearn to say this). I think this unit has raised the bar for BLI. As Red Skelton used to say "Good night all, and may God bless" Bob
