Quote/ Just wondering Geep if you mowed down your train engineer with an AK-47? LOL. Is that the blood stain under the loco?On a serious note though, I was wondering how you like the Athearn AC4400 models. I've been somewhat skeptical about athearn. I just bought a blue and yellow box loco last Christmas for $60 and have had some motor problems with it.Is the overland model a smooth runner like Atlas or Kato?  /quote No no no.  I would dream of such a violent incident with the engineer for some members will say I am sick for modeling anything not considered "normal"  LOL  I spiled red paint thats all.I am not a fan of the Athearn models running abilities and that is why I switch out the motors with genesis ones from engines I didnt like and sold as dummies.  Then I add much needed weight and they are run worthy.The few Overland models I have run flawlessly in my opinion and its not because I envy stupid brass either.  It is because they do run real nicely like Atlas or Kato.  My Sd70ACe runs the best out of any loco I have ever owned.  I just won the bid for $456 for the Overland Bush unit SD70ACe but the kicker is it is a unpowered model.  But the good news is I will remove the motor and DCC from one of my other Overland models to power it up, If it works!
