[quote user="MisterBeasley"] A while back, I reported a trip to my LHS where I was blown away by a Big Boy.  I think it was a Trix, because the Europeans understand that not everyone has the space for 30-inch curves.  The Trix will take 18's, but won't really look right. Then, a week or two ago, it happened again.  This time it was the Lifelike/Walthers Heritage Series 0-6-0.  Now, here's a small-layout engine.  Beautifully detailed, even to the bell-pull lines.  The sound was terrific.  (I don't know whose decoder it is, but it was clean and crisp.)  It didn't look like a shorty steamer, either.  I'd be perfectly happy with one of these pulling a main-line load. It's not my era, but, well, I've just got to have one of these.  I've got a few old wooden passenger cars that are just dying to be turned into an excursion train.  After that, well, I keep threatening to turn back the clock on my layout.  Power up the Way-Back Machine, Sherman... [/quote] It is a QSI decoder.  I have two of these engines and they are the "perfect" switchers.  Great low speed operation and a great sound system.  They both work smoothly at 2 Smph and up.  Buy two - best bargin out there.
