My Rivarossi FEF-3 (#844) came today (less than 24 hours after I ordered it!!!!!!!), and I must say, I am greatly impressed! The detailing is SUBURB, and it runs beautifuly. I also found out it can take 18" curves. I only found 3 problems with it: 1. When it runs at higher speeds, the engine kind of whines. 2. The cab roof came off before I got it out of the box (do I put the handrails on to keep it on?). 3. You can really hear the "clickity clack" of my sectional track when this loco runs on it. But otherwise, it's a VERY fine model. Anyone planning on getting this locomotive should do it! My thanks to everyone at Rivarossi.

Go easy on it ! Give it time to break in. Is there any information in the instructions about break in and lubrication?

Yes, gsetter, you have to run it for 20 min at various speeds and directions (which I did [;)]).

Hey! I built up enough money to get my FEF too. I ordered a Grayhound unit yesterday. Everyone boast about how hard this locomotive is, so I guess it's alright.

Cool

Count youself lucky! Anytime I order states side I have to wait 4-6 weeks. I hope you enjoy the new brute. As far as the break in, I always double what the manufacturer advises.

Enjoy!!

Congratulations Jonathon,
that is how we like the mail to work: FAST
I want it, and I want it NOW!
"OK here it is"
"Thank you postal-dude!"

I had to wait a year for mine to be delivered, and btw It also had the cab-roof off!

Lupo, did you glue yours?

[AggroJones]

I got mine this morning. My cab roof is off too. But it looks as if it were factory glued, but it didn't adhere correctly. This large gray beast is awsome!
