I was thinking about ordering an undecorated model, if they are still available, and remove the doghouse and paint it for either C&O or B&O. I just wondered how it pulled. Hopefully better than the Berkshire. I know the H.O. version was very highly regarded. I'm still on the fence about the Spectrum H-5. It has a super warranty and the LHS has sold half a dozen or more and hasn't gotten any complaints or returns. Certainly if they were that troublesome the hobby shop would have gotten at least one of them back. I can't imagine someone paying over $200 for a steam engine, having trouble with it and not returning it or at least coming back to raise a little hell. I have run one on a short test track at the local LHS. It seemed like a nice unit. Not quite as smooth as the LL mallet but seemed pretty good. By the way, I know the guys at my LHS and I trust them. No way would I buy one from someone I didn't trust or know. As I said, I've been dealing with these people for many years. Also, I saw one of the Nscale Spectrum H-5s running at a train show and it looked really good. I have read many complaints about these but if they were all defective then no way would the hobby shop have sold several and had not one complaint. Since it has a lifetime warranty and the LHS has told me they would exchange within the first week if I didn't like it, what is there to lose? I would really like an Nscale mallet. Anyone else have any further thoughts or experience with either of these Nscale mallets?
