I ordered mine.
I have some feedback. Would you consider putting e units in these like they do on Lion Chief plus locos. That way you can run them with the remote or conventional transformer control.
I assume this one can only be controlled by the remote and that is fine.
If I were to acquire a bunch of these (believe me I want to) I would prefer the option to operate them conventionally like all of my other locos.
I would be open to a sperate sale plug in/ wire in/ solder in module if you are worried about raising the price by adding an e unit.
Having said all of that, this is so cool. I asked the Menards train guy about engines years ago,
He said they were working on it and asked me to keep quiet about it.
Hope it is OK to talk now.
So looking forward to running my "Menards & Santa Fe All the Way" train.
Glad to see some other options out there for pepole starting in the hobby.
So when are the passenger cars and freight engines coming out? 
Sorry I typed this before reading your post all the way through.
Should I email that e unit conventional control suggestion in?
