I owned the engine for a period of time. I found it to be a smooth runner. I never really had the chance to really run it because the BLI M1a was the favored engine for the running at the time. <br /> <br />I did sell the unit on ebay for a small sum in line with the other heavy mountains and placed the money towards a order that is due early this year.. literally a better engine with QSI and Sound. Mountains I have plenty of, it's mallets I want. <br /> <br />I own the 4-6-0 also and wont part with it. The cables between the cab and tender is a problem I try to pull them deeper into the tender and split the wires down both sides of the draw bar. That engine will be pulling a future set of 5 Overton cars and a small freight of 5 cars also. <br /> <br />The prices on ebay reflect current trends and dont mean that the model itself is "Junk".. with the large numbers of DCC engines with sound hitting the market.. it is my theory that people are selling the Analog stuff to put the money towards future orders before the value of the Analog (DC) drops too sharply.
