C280 rollin' Reply AggroJones Member sinceJuly 2002 From: California 3,722 posts Posted by AggroJones on Friday, June 18, 2004 10:19 PM Don't do it! I thought like that too when I got mine. They are incapable of low speed operation. Their worm-gear/flywheel system doesn't work. She maxed out at 34 free-rolling cars through 24" radius. But when lubed and broken in, it will run quiet. Quiet, but not smooth. It bounces and limps down the rails. The mechanism isn't up to todays design standards. Eventually the axels will crack. [V] I keep mine around cause I made it look good. Not a real runner. Put that $70 towards somthing of higher quality.

Is it worth the $60? Does it run smooth? Is it loud? Is it a good locomotive in general? I have been thinking about purchasing this loco from TrainWorld, but want some information first.
