The b-man DD40X is a terrible running locomotive, it runs choppy as all get out and is lacking in the detail department, let the buyer beware I guess. I could name offhand about a dozen better running N scale locos you could have gotten for 76 bones But, that PRR fantasy scheme is pretty sharp. Please...that's your opinion, not mine. The prices on these things soar whenever I see them on eBay. The single motor models go for at least $50, everytime, and the double motor 16 wheel drives...This is the first one I have been able to afford. Sure, I can easily name a dozen locos that run better, for cheaper, but none of them I want as much as this. If it doesn't run how I want it to, I can change that with some work. I have had good luck with Bachmann, and am very happy with their products for the most part. I'm sure that I could get my new PRR DD40AX up to whatever standards I want it, if it isn't already within them. [^] Burst my bubble? Nope, sorry, not here. This will be one of the locomotives in my own Heritage fleet, which includes my CSX Turbine.[:D] [/quote Excellent reply. You handeled that with a maturity far beyond your years. Good on ya!!
