<P>[quote user="tstage"]The only F-unit I have is a Stewart FT A-B with a Lenz Gold decoder installed in it. <BR><BR>[img]http://home.earthlink.net/~tgstage/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/erieft.jpg[/img]<BR><BR>It runs amaaaaazingly smooth and absolutely crawls. You're right, you do have to detail them but they are still very nice looking. The one chip in Stewart's armor is their paint jobs. It doesn't take much to ding or chip the paint.<BR><BR>Tom<BR><BR>[/quote] Very nice Tom:</P> <P>Do you know what drive system they are? I'd guess Kato but not sure. I have a later set of FT's for CB&Q and I'm not sure which drive system is used, maybe Beuler. It seems that all of them were excellent. Stewart might have done the best job in recreating the F units of anyone and among the best running as well. Just alittle work to dress them up and somewhat iffy paint jobs but all in all, very fine plastic models.</P> <P>Bill</P>
