I was there while Scott ran the engine/consist around the layout and then did the photo/video shoot. The low end motor control -- and at all speeds is as good as it gets. The prime mover, bell, horn and other sounds are very crisp even with the stock Atlas O speaker with whatever attention Atlas paid to acoustics.
And how about that much cleaner and more reliable looking installation! The O Scale engine manufactures should take a look at this!
Thanks Scott for showing the gang a well done project!
