Got a 2-8-0. If you don't hear from me it's cause I'm dead meat.

Quiet. No grinding or loud gear noise like my BLIs. <br /> <br />Detail is high. Like low end brass. <br /> <br />The electrical wipers may need tweeking to get proper contact. Other wise it runs erratic. <br /> <br />Not the world's best hauler, but thats to be expected. It ain't a giant tonnage hog. <br /> <br />I see everyone here says "smooth". Almost every Spectrum 2-8-0 I've come across had a slight wobble. Tje cab "dances" as it moves down the rails. I am a perfectionist, so the flaw I see may be a little exaggerated. <br /> <br />They are incapable of great low speed running. Higher speeds equal better drive train flow. <br /> <br />I'm just giving you the facts.
