I see Walthers has a new loco coming out and was wondering if anyone knows if this is a new loco or just a rehash of the Life Like SW units from years back. I have one of those older ones, and while it looks okay, it doesn't run the best. If this were a new loco, with the possiblity of a board replacement for DCC (it says it's DCC friendly), I might be inclined to get one or two.
Here is a link to it: http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/920-80154
I sent an email to Walthers customer service, but their auto reply said this is their busy season and it could take some time before someone responds to my question.
And to think I was at Trainfest and didn't even ask someone there
Thanks,
Scott
