[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by 4884bigboy I asked for a Trix Big Boy for Christmas[:I]. I know I probably won't get it, but just in case, I'd like to know what people who own one of these beasts think of them. Does it run smooth? How's the sound system? I can sacrifice bad sound for superior running (I think the sound only works on DCC anyway, and I've yet to go DCC). I've been wantng this loco for a long time and now might be my one shot. So what do you think of it? [/quote] The model is expensive, but the best running model on the market today. I have both the 4013 and th 4015 with sound. The sound in the 4015 is toy train like, since the whistle blows several sequences each time you pu***he function for the whistle. They use an electronics package that is single channel. If you have the bell on and blow the whistle, the bell has to stop first and then the whistle blows it preset sequence of who know what. The puffing is not an articulated sound, but is good for a two cylinder engine, but again the system is single channel operation and none of the sounds can be used at the same time. The 4013 is the best of the two if you add Soundtraxx. Both engines run like no other on the planet and for that Trix gets high marks. I believe they will operate at 1mph scale speed or maybe even slower.
