Excellent engine at a reasonable price
This Walthers diesel runs smooth and quiet. Even with used life like track and old transformer. Fast enough to throw light cars off the rail. I will weight them and get a larger layout. Excellent upgrade to hobby quality. Be sure to lube engine as instructed. I use Rem oil. Will pull all I have and more.

A good quality HO locomotive for the price.
The categories Amazon let me rate were odd: sheerness, stretch, giftable. I'd say it was definitely giftable. As for a realistic review, the quality was good. It ran well out of the box. Detailing is quite acceptable for its price. I run my layout DC only. This can be converted to DCC but I didn't look into how complicated that would be. One thing I did notice is it runs backward from my other brand locomotives.

It is the cheapest locomotive on the market and it workes very well for the money.
The media could not be loaded. Out of the box worked and ran, very heavy weight HO Scale I love it 8 wheel drive 2 motor 15 20 carts easy pull capacity.

Broken Truck
This engine didn't run at all. I took it apart, because I didn't want to wait for yet another replacement locomotive for two weeks.The top of the rear (and front as well) truck has two tabs that are forced into the upper part of the chassis. There the train rest and turns on the truck. What I did was drilled out where the tab was, and screwed the truck to the chassis.I also put a Soundtraxx 885824 Tsunami2 decoder in it, and it runs great. Has good slow speed, and sounds great as well.The broken tab might be a fluke, and I might buy another one. I noticed they raised the price, so maybe not, because I bought it for the low price.

Wow! Great pulling power, Smooth operation
Walthers builds high quality products ! All wheels provide electrical pickup, all wheels provide propulsion, great low to high speed operation (as long as your DC power pack provides a smooth ramp up in voltage). I liked the locomotive so much, I have purchased five more Walthers Trainline locomotives.
