GIT-R-DONE – I’ve re-read your comments again and I will say that the comparison of the 30’s version alongside the 90’s version is very in-depth to where I can make more of an education decision about what to do next. I think my apprehension regarding which one I would rather have is based on not running my VL 700E and not truly experiencing the locomotive for what it has to offer. With that said, you’ve given me a lot to think about.
MARTY FITZHENRY – Older trains have always captured my attention in ways that modern trains (and their electronics) can’t, but I’m pretty certain that most other train enthusiasts can say something similar. I believe there to be a certain appreciation for older mechanics but the same can be said for the really nice modern stuff as well. In additional, I’ve always love the really old cars as well, but know that they must be babied to a certain point to work as well as they did when they were new.
JC642 – I know some guys who use their 1-700E strictly as a display piece. But a very nice display piece as it is.
D550 and EZMIKE – The only way how the deal could be complete is if I include a brand new ZW-L and Legacy control system as well.
Very interesting, I understand the Legacy Control System but just curious, why the ZW-L?
Mike
