Ken and Chip, <br /> <br />The low-boilered 4-6-0 (small drivers) is a nice engine. I got an undecorated one. Installing the decoder is a matter of "plug and play" although if you get a Digitrax decoder, get the long wiring harness, not the recommended short one. This will give you more flexibility in placement. This is important, as the tender is very light. I added 1 1/2 ounces, and it could use more. As delivered, it is so light that the flex in the wires can lift the front end off the track. <br /> <br />Other than that - excellent engine with nice detail. <br /> <br />One note - I have seen trainworld advertise the Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 for as low as US$75. <br /> <br />Andrew <br /> <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
