That thing's cute as a bug! I'm glad I'm modeling the flatlands and have absolutely no use for one. Unfortunately, if they come out with a small heisler, I'm in trouble.

My, that's a handsome little devil, isn't it? I wonder what the pulling capability is? I'm fairly disappointed with my Spectrum Shay, it's only worth about four cars on my 2% grade.

It's hard enough to fight the temptation to buy yet more locomotives, then they come out with the one I wanted since I first heard of a Climax....Oh what to do!?

Nice, I am glad, I have wanted a climax like that, but i cant afford the brass ones out there now, i am glad they are filling this niche.
